My daughters and I saw the first night of Pinkalicious last night and it was a great show for young girls. I took my 3 year old, my 10 year old and her 11 year old friend and it was very nice. It lasted an hour. Cute musical and great performers. I would highly recommend going for some clean inexpensive fun.
