Young audiences will delight as regional music and dance from Mexico weave a tale of wonder, magic, and tradition. Sugar Skull! welcomes you to this family-friendly bicultural, bilingual musical just in time for Dia De Los Muertos. Only at Centennial Hall.

With her skeletal new friend, Sugar Skull, Vita dances with ancient ancestors and sings with a sorrowful sorceress. She escapes the trickster Chaneques and even meets the famous Catrina Calavera.
