What happens when a curious twelve-year-old questions her family’s colorful Día de Muertos celebration—and a candy skeleton springs to life to show her why it matters? You get SUGAR SKULL! A Día de Muertos Musical Adventure—a bilingual, family-friendly musical that’s as heartwarming as it is high-energy.

Follow Vita Flores as she’s swept into a vibrant world of music, magic, and tradition, guided by Sugar Skull—a charismatic (and slightly mischievous) skeleton with secrets to share. Together, they dance with ancestors, dodge tricky spirits, and uncover the beauty and meaning behind Día de Muertos.

With glowing praise from educators and arts presenters across the country, this musical adventure offers both fun and meaningful learning—perfect for families, classrooms, and curious minds of all backgrounds.

  • Bilingual & bicultural storytelling
