Whatever you do, don’t let the Pigeon star in his own musical production! 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!), TheaterWorksUSA‘s Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus! The Musical! is even more fun than staying up late and having a hot dog party!
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 sure to get everyone’s wings flapping.

As literature, the book encourages reading. As theater, this show will now encourage a love of the lively arts, because I believe that kids who see it will want to see more live performance. – Christopher Henley, DC Theatre Scene
