Overview

Candy Krunch and her four best friends have been solving crimes in Littletown, USA for years. But lately, after a dry spell of cases, the Gumball Gang has been dejectedly hanging out at her grandfather’s candy shop. Fortunately, two kid reporters inform the gang that the Cosmopolitan Museum is hosting an art show and youth artist competition. All the kids in town get involved, including Victoria, the local pageant queen; Winston, the richest kid in town; Becca, the hopeless klutz; TJ, the neighborhood bully; Abby and Una, two outspoken environmental activists; a gang of skater kids; and a trio of visiting art students. But at the contest’s kickoff, the glamorous judges (who bear a remarkable resemblance to the Supremes) discover that their great masterpiece by Borislav DelaGriofski has been stolen. The Gumball Gang is on the case!

The Gumball Gang: Crime-Solving Kids boasts an upbeat contemporary score, a clever and engaging story and a great diversity of featured roles. Celebrating teamwork, ingenuity and creativity, this family-friendly musical whodunit is sure to please audiences of all ages.
