In Pinkalicious The Musical, Pinkalicious can't stop eating pink cupcakes despite warnings from her parents.
Her pink indulgence lands her at the doctor's office with Pinkititis, an affliction that turns her pink from head to toe -
a dream come true for this pink loving enthusiast. But when her hue goes too far, only Pinkalicious can figure out a way to get out of this
predicament.
Vital Theatre Company, commissioned, developed and produced "Pinkalicious The Musical"and opened the McGinn/Cazale Theatre in
New York City on January 13, 2007. The musical immediately moved Off-Broadway and has played at a number of venues in Manhattan since then.
In 2008 the production moved into Canada for a three year run and continues to tour extensively around the United States,
bringing joy to children and their families across the country.

Fancy Nancy the Musical follows Nancy and her friends Bree, Rhonda, Wanda, and Lionel,
who are going to be performing in their very first show, "Deep Sea Dances."
Nancy is positive, that's fancy for 100 percent sure, that she and Bree will be picked to be mermaids.
When another girl wins the coveted role of the mermaid, Nancy is stuck playing a dreary, dull tree.
Can Nancy bring fancy flair to her role, even though it isn’t the one she wanted?
The show is geared towards children 2 – 10 years old. Called "a family-friendly production brimming with style and wit" (New York Metro Parents),
FANCY NANCY THE MUSICAL has been critically and popularly acclaimed since its opening at Vital Theatre Company in September 2012.
The Fancy Nancy Cast Recording won the 2013 Off-Broadway Kids Original Musical CD of the Year.
The Trust Performing Arts Center,

was built by the Lancaster Trust Company in 1912. One of the region’s most stunning buildings,
it is a Beaux-Arts masterpiece from the imagination of Lancaster’s leading architect, C. Emlen Urban.
A century later this architectural treasure was re-imagined as The Trust Performing Arts Center,
a stunning new venue for music, theater & dance, and community events in the heart of downtown Lancaster.

VITAL THEATRE COMPANY, founded in New York City in 1999 and resident in Lancaster, PA since February of 2022,
is dedicated to producing entertaining and educational theatre for young audiences.
It commissions and produces three to five musicals for children each season.
The company has been honored with the Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best Family Musical,
two Awards for Excellence by the Off-Off Broadway Review, and has received high acclaim from audiences and critics
alike for being "a wonderful place for parents to introduce their kids to the glories of live theatre, done well and at modest prices"
(Off-Off Broadway Review). Vital Theatre Company has presented hundreds of original productions for tens of thousands of children and their families both
here in New York and across the country on tour.
The company's extensive educational programming has seen it create the Brooklyn Theatre Arts High
School in conjunction with the New York City Department of Educations where its programming transformed an urban High School with a graduation rate
of only 40% to a 99% graduation rate in just four short years. The Company maintains a long-term partnership with the Fordham High School
for the Arts where it has developed a Career and Technical Education (CTE) program in Technical Theater.
Students are paid by the City of New York to intern with Vital Theatre Company, get professional, hands-on training all
while receiving credit towards graduation. This is now a state-wide program in New York.
The company hopes to implement this program in Lancaster County and eventually across Pennsylvania.
