Presented by Walmart, a brand-new stage show inspired by the magical world of the global preschool sensation from DreamWorks Animation.

Gabby, Pandy Paws and friends travel to the Cat-O-Sphere, Mermaid-Lantis and some favorite Dollhouse locations in search of the colors that will make rebuilding the rainbow, possible.
