Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical

About this event

Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical! is a hilariously interactive stage adventure straight out of Mo Willems’ beloved, award-winning book. When a determined, delightfully mischievous Pigeon sets their heart on driving a city bus, chaos and comedy ensue! Bursting with playful songs, vibrant characters, puppets, and laugh-out-loud surprises, this high-energy musical invites children and grownups alike to sing, shout, and laugh along. Don’t let the pigeon drive the bus . . . but let them star in a musical!

Written by best-selling children’s author, Mo Willems, and packed with playful music by Deborah Wicks La Puma, this lively stage adaptation brings the world of the famous Pigeon picture books to flapping, laughing life. With catchy songs and groovy dances, the Pigeon pleads, squawks, and tries every trick in the book all the way through the show.

Perfect for first-time theatergoers and fans of the books alike, Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical! is a joyful, giggle-filled introduction to live theatre—more fun than your average commute!
