That children’s favorite shiny, shimmering fish, Rainbow Fish, comes to life on stage at Broadway Palm Dinner Theater for select matinees from Friday, June 5 to Friday, June 19, 2026.
“This vibrant, family-friendly production is filled with music, movement, and meaningful lessons,” says Social Media & Marketing Coordinator Natalie Hendry.
Indeed, the show is based on the internationally acclaimed book The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. The Rainbow Fish is known as the most beautiful fish in the ocean with its shimmering, colorful scales. However, as the fish learns, there’s more than just a dazzling appearance that counts. Happiness comes from not swimming through life alone, but from sharing and building relationships with others.
“Although it’s based on a children’s book, it’s perfect for audiences of all ages, as it delivers a timeless message for all,” adds Hendry.
The stage show delights the audience with colorful characters, uplifting themes, and immersive storytelling.
The buffet is designed to make children happy with offerings they will love. Also, after each show, there’s a question-and-answer session that adds to the experience.
Tickets $28 (includes lunch and show) with lunch at 12 pm and showtime at 1 pm.
