Sugar Skull: A Dia de los Muertos Musical Adventure (School Show)
SUGAR SKULL! A Día de Muertos Musical Adventure is a touring bilingual/bicultural musical for educators who want to bring students in grades 1-5 to the CCA for a school show. The show uses traditional regional music and dance from Mexico to tell the story of twelve-year-old Vita Flores. Vita thinks her family has gone loco planning a celebration for deceased loved ones. Why throw a party for the dead? But when a spirited candy skeleton suddenly springs to life, Vita finds herself on a magical, musical journey to unravel the true meaning of Día de Muertos.
Meet Sugar Skull, a charismatic skeleton with a secret or two. With her skeletal new friend, Vita dances with ancient ancestors, sings with a sorrowful sorceress, escapes the trickster Chaneques, and even meets the famous Catrina Calavera. But can this clever youth gather the missing pieces needed before it’s too late?
Tickets $3
