Fam Jam at The Jones Center in Springdale is back with a fun musical adventure just in time for Day of the Dead. Tickets to Fam Jam performances also include access to the indoor swimming and ice skating.
SUGAR SKULL! A Día de Muertos Musical Adventure is a touring bilingual/bicultural musical for young audiences and families that 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 for her family ofrenda before it’s too late?
‘SUGAR SKULL! A Dia de Muertos Musical Adventure’ is a heartwarming journey for the whole family! Its ability to interweave fun storytelling while also explaining the beautiful traditions associated with Dia de Muertos makes for a wonderful and thoughtful experience for all ages!”.Christa Brown – Director of Programming, The Smith Center for the Performing Arts, Las Vegas, NV
