6. Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical!

Whatever you do, don’t let The Pigeon star in his own musical production! Because it’s not easy being The Pigeon– you never get to do ANYTHING!

Starring an innovative mix of actors, puppets, songs, and feathers, Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus! (The Musical) is sure to get everyone’s wings flapping. This comedic musical production is even more fun than staying up late and having a hot dog party! Based on the book by Mo Willems. Learn more !
