Astonishing Kids And Families With The Fun of Broadway-Like Plays and A Lot More!

So many thinks…

 

unnamed (5)
They think Horton’s crazy for how much he protects
the tiny town on the teeny speck.

But Horton is smart with a head full of thinks
and great resilience when tested and pushed to the brink.

Our dreams are like clovers that need lots of nurture
to get to the places where we’re inspired to go further.

SEUSSICAL™ teaches us lots about life,
but perhaps most of all —
a person’s a person no matter how small.

Getting to know Dr. Seuss’s Horton the Elephant

 

who-is-horton

 

Some say Horton’s a fool – slow and naive as can be.
His compassion is for small things that others cannot see.

But you won’t meet an elephant with thinks so absurd;
who’s still faithful and loyal and true to his word!

For an egg in a tree and a speck on a clover,
Horton’s friendship will triumph over and over.

SEUSSICAL™ is a musical place to see
friendship in action the way it should be.

This Pinkalicious “Favorite Color” Quiz Just Might Rock Your World?!

“The next morning when I woke up, I was PINK! My face was pink, my hands were pink, and my belly was the color of a sunset… I cried because I was so beautiful. I even had PINK tears.”

-Pinkalicious Pinkerton, on waking up and seeing that her skin had turned her favorite color

Seeing PnewpinkINKALICIOUS on stage with her passion for the color pink reminds me just how powerful color really is in our lives. We, like the characters in the play, all have our favorites, don’t we?

Pinkalicious’ brother, Peter, likes to wear blue clothes. Because Dr. Wink is a doctor, she knows how healthy green foods are. And though Pinkalicious’ best friend, Alison, also loves the color pink, she turns a bit red when she and Pinkalicious get into a disagreement.

 

There are so many beautiful colors in the world, and while Pinkalicious’ favorite color is obvious, we wondered about the colors you relate to. So, with the help of playbuzz.com, a site where anyone can develop a qPINKALICIOUS 2016uiz, we’ve developed a fun, non-scientific, seven question quiz to spark your colorful musings. No matter if you are red, pink, blue, green, or even yellow at heart—we’re curious to know what the quiz results turned up for you. So, take this fun quiz, and then leave a comment telling us if we guessed right!
