The 18th Anniversary Tour of Vital Theatre Company’s long-running hit Pinkalicious The Musical comes to Rome Capitol Theatre on November 1st! The one-hour musical, with book and lyrics by Elizabeth Kann and Victoria Kann and music, lyrics and orchestrations by John Gregor, is based on the best-selling children’s book “Pinkalicious” by Elizabeth Kann and Victoria Kann. The musical adaptation is directed by Teresa K. Pond based on the original direction of Suzu McConnell-Wood.
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.

Capitolfest 21 has come and gone, and with it attendees from approximately 32 different U.S. states and Canada.
The festival ran from August 9 through August 11, and was preceded by a “pre-glow” on Thursday, August 8, during which the 2024 documentary, Film is Dead, Long Live Film was screened, introduced by its director, Peter Flynn. Also shown on Thursday was the 1928 short comedy, Dad’s Choice, accompanied by Ben Model on the theater’s 1928 Möller organ.
Capitolfest started in earnest on Friday morning, with David Peckham at the organ accompanying the second entry in the 1922 Leather Pushers series of boxing shorts, “Round Two,” which were successful in catapulting Capitolfest tribute star Reginald Denny to fame. This was followed immediately by the silent melodrama, Crooked Alley (Universal, 1923), starring Thomas Carrigan as likable professional thief Boston Blackie and a teenaged Laura La Plante as his leading lady. Among the other highlights of this initial session of Capitolfests was a fascinating presentation of nitrate film decomposition by George Willeman, the Nitrate Vault Leader of the Library of Congress Motion Picture and Recorded Sound Division.
Some of the extreme rarities of Capitolfest 21 were 1930’s Fox film, Temple Tower, Hush Money, a Fox gangster melodrama from 1931 with Joan Bennett and a stellar supporting cast that included the likes of Myrna Loy and George Raft, the Reginald Denny farce comedies, Clear the Decks (1929) and I’ll Show You the Town (1925), and, in its American premiere, a new restoration of the 1930 Polish film, Janko Muzykant, courtesy of the National Archive of Warsaw. This last was a major surprise for those of us in attendance (which apparently were many!) that were unfamiliar with the Polish film industry during the early sound era, and who found the 105-minute drama to be enormously compelling.
