Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! Synopsis
Hitting The Coterie stage just in time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the book’s first publication, Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical! features an innovative mix of actors, puppets, songs, and feathers — plus a script written by Mo Willems, the creator of the No. 1 New York Times best-selling, Caldecott Honor “Pigeon” picture book series. Using catchy, jazz and Broadway-inspired melodies to bring the story to life on stage, Willems adapts his simple – yet endearingly fanciful – story of The Pigeon into a fun and charming musical that will get everyone’s wings flapping. Poor Pigeon: he never gets to anything he wants. But when the Bus Driver has a crisis that threatens to make his passengers late (gasp!), maybe the wily Pigeon CAN do something… he might even save the day.
