ABOUT THE SHOW

Grades preK-2

Whatever you do, don’t let the Pigeon star in his own musical! Written by Mo Willems, the genius behind the Pigeon book series, and with music by Deborah Wicks La Puma, this show is more fun than staying up late with a hot dog party! Get ready for a musical adventure full of laughter, songs, and silliness! 

In Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical!, the Pigeon just wants to do something—anything! When the Bus Driver faces a crisis that could make her passengers late, the Pigeon might just be the one to save the day! With catchy songs and a whole lot of feathers, this show will have everyone flapping their wings in excitement!
