Along with their pals, Phoenicia & Vic will stir up trouble and pillage dozens of great standards and early 20th century showtunes. With a consistent nod to Coward-esque sophistication, PINKABOO! is a fabulously delicious and playful companion piece to ACT’s mainstage production A Marvelous Party: The Noël Coward Celebration. PINKABOO! begins immediately after A Marvelous Party. The bar will be open, featuring PINKABOO! Martinis. Tickets are $10 (free with a same day ticket stub from A Marvelous Party) and are available at the ACT Ticket Office or online www.acttheatre.org.
