Families are invited to the Performing Arts Center of Kapolei’s (PACK) latest production, Pinkalicious The Musical<\/I>, which kicks off Sept. 13 and runs through Sept. 21.<\/p>\n
“This really is a story for the entire family,” said parent volunteer Kari Nettel.<\/p>\n
Directed by Meagan Olson, with choreography by Tonesha Holland and musical direction by Kimberly Francis, the play makes its Hawaii debut featuring a cast of local intermediate and high school students.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n
The story is based on the children’s book Pinkalicious <\/I>by Elizabeth and Victoria Kann and follows Pinkalicious, a young girl who loves the color pink. With a penchant for pink cupcakes, after eating too many despite warnings from her parents, she turns entirely pink. Though initially excited at her predicament, she soon has to solve her pink-hued condition.<\/p>\n
“(It is) a family-friendly show with catchy musical numbers and a few important lessons,” said Nettel.<\/p>\n
“Pinkalicious is not just for girls either,” she added. The character’s brother, Peter, also plays an important role in the story.<\/p>\n
Playing the title role of Pinkalicous is Sacred Hearts Academy student Marlo Nettel, 14. The cast also has Rache Sapla, also a Sacred Hearts student, Austen Amparo and Thomas Olson from Kapolei High, Megan Boggs from Ilima Intermediate and Juliet Moody, a homeschool student.<\/p>\n
According to the organization, it is a nonprofit theater program open to students of all ages.<\/p>\n
“PACK’s goal is to bring quality performances at an affordable price to our community,” shared Nettel.<\/p>\n
More than 75 students currently are active in the group.<\/p>\n
Up next for the students is an October production of School House Rock Jr. <\/I>and Thoroughly Modern Millie The Musical <\/I>for spring 2014.<\/p>\n
The organization also offers dance and other performance training courses throughout the year.<\/p>\n
Pinkalicious The Musical <\/I>runs through Sept. 21 with showtimes at 6 p.m. Thursdays and 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Tickets cost $5-$6, and all performances are presented in the Kapolei High School cafeteria.<\/p>\n
