Choreographed by DARLENE ZOLLER
It's not easy being the Pigeon - you never get to do ANYTHING. But when the Bus Driver has a crisis that threatens to make her passengers (gasp!) late, maybe that wily bird CAN do something. Featuring an innovative mix of songs and feathers, DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS! THE MUSICAL! is even more fun than staying up late and having a hot dog party! With a script written by Mo Willems, the creator of the #1 New York Times best-selling, Caldecott Honor award-winning "Pigeon" picture books, and featuring music by Deborah Wicks La Puma (Elephant & Piggie's We Are in a Play!), DON’T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS! THE MUSICAL! is sure to get everyone’s wings flapping!
Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.MTIshows.com“… rip-roaringly, giggle-inducingly kid-friendly.” -DC Theater Arts
“… the theme encourages us to find, and then to do, our own thing. As literature, the book encourages reading. As theater, this show will now encourage a love of the lively arts… kids who see it will want to see more live performance.” -DC Theatre Scene
