OHIO!

The Midland Theatre in Newark, Ohio, was the first stop on the tour for “The Little Pink Dress” and the cast and crew of “Pinkalicious, The Musical.”
They received a nice welcome from the theatre people and got a glimpse of the lovely theatre where they would be performing.



Then it was off to their hotel rooms for some rest and relaxation.


The room “The Little Pink Dress” shared with the actress had a lovely view of the church across the street. Newark is a quaint little place.
If you have a chance you should go visit.

But, back to The Adventures of “The Little Pink Dress.”

She had performances every day Feb. 4-6, but it wasn’t all work. There was definitely time for play.

“The Little Pink Dress” took some time to take a walk around the town square where the theatre was located. She stopped to rest by a statue of Mark Twain. It seems he likes to hang out on that bench in front of the entrance to the theatre.

One day, Ronald McDonald came to the theatre and “The Little Pink Dress” got to dance with him on the stage of the Midland Theatre. What a thrill!!!

When she wasn’t performing, sightseeing or dancing with celebrities, “The Little Pink Dress” spent time in her room writing letters, talking to friends on the phone or just hanging out with the actress’s other clothes – telling them about her great adventures.

From Newark, “The Little Pink Dress” and the rest of the “Pinkalicious” gang traveled to Canton, Ohio, for a day of shows. Then it was back to New York.
But, what’s this??
Another tour was leaving next week for Virginia! And, “The Little Pink Dress” was going to go!!
The Adventure continues!

Off to NYC

After their initial meeting, the actress and “The Little Pink Dress” flew off to New York City for the first step of their adventure.

The actress would be appearing in an off-Broadway production of “Pinkalicious, The Musical” in the Bleecker Street Theatre at 45 Bleecker Street in the East Village of Manhattan.

“Pinkalicious” started as a book, written by sisters Elizabeth Kann and Victoria Kann. It’s the story of a little girl who loves everything pink. One day, she eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink from head to toe. She ends up in the doctor’s office where she’s diagnosed with pinkititis. When Pinkalicious refuses to follow doctor’s orders and her parents’ pleading, her new hue goes too far and she has to take drastic measures.
It’s a really fun story and boys and girls love it. So do their parents.

The book was such a success it was turned into a musical with book and lyrics by Elizabeth Kann and Victoria Kann, and music and lyrics by John Gregor.
The show is directed by Teresa K. Pond.
“The Little Pink Dress” was thrilled to be in NYC, but had no time for sightseeing. She had to get to work right away.

The first performance was scheduled for Jan. 3 and it was amazing!!!
“The Little Pink Dress” had to wait until the end of the show for her debut.
You see, she’s a special outfit the actress wears only in the final musical number of the show.

But, finally it was time to go on the stage. And, it was magical.


The audience seemed to accept her and the other actors told her she’d done a great job after the show.

In fact, “The Little Pink Dress” was asked to go on tour with the actress when the show made its way to Ohio in February.

“The Little Pink Dress” was thrilled!!! Of course, she’d go. How could she refuse??
