The Rainbow Fish Musica Opens February 25th at Matthews Playhouse

Experience the Beauty of Friendship and the Magical, Colorful World of the Deep Blue Sea

By Matthews Playhouse for the Perfoming Arts February 14, 2022

Everybody loves the international bestseller and award-winning book, The Rainbow Fish, with its wonderful message of friendship and belonging.  Now you can experience the magical, colorful world of the deep blue sea on stage at Matthews Playhouse!


With shiny, multi-colored scales, Rainbow Fish is the most beautiful fish in all of the ocean, and the only one of his kind.  When Rainbow Fish refuses to share his vibrant, shimmering scales, the whole ocean seems to turn against the vain creature.  Unhappy that no one adores him anymore, the Rainbow Fish seeks out the wise Octopus, who helps him learn that it’s far better to be admired for being kind than for being beautiful.

With its bubbly, energetic score, young children will be enchanted by this delightful musical, and the universal message at the heart of this story teaches young audiences that the joy of beauty is in sharing beauty with others.  


This Matthews Playhouse show will run for two weekends (February 25 thru March 6) at:

The Fullwood Theater (located in the Matthews Community Center)

100 McDowell Street E

Matthews, NC 28105

Tickets:  $12 - $14
