About the show

Beloved Book Series by Mo Willems
TheatreWorksUSA Musical Production
Friendship, Teamwork & Imagination

The Pigeon has one dream: to drive the bus. Everyone else has one answer. Written by Mo Willems, Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical! brings everyone’s favorite feathered troublemaker to the stage. When the Bus Driver faces an unexpected crisis, the Pigeon finally gets the chance to prove he can do more than make a commotion.

Written by Mo Willems

This isn’t simply a stage adaptation of the beloved picture book. With a script by Mo Willems—the creator of the #1 New York Times bestselling, Caldecott Honor-winning Pigeon books—original music by Deborah Wicks La Puma (Elephant & Piggie’s We Are in a Play!), and brought to life by TheatreWorksUSA, this joyful musical comedy is filled with catchy songs, memorable characters, and plenty of laughs.

A Pigeon with a Plan (Sort Of)

The familiar story grows into an all-new theatrical adventure when the Bus Driver faces a crisis that threatens to make her passengers late, and the Pigeon may finally get his chance. What follows is an unexpected adventure full of surprises, songs, and heart.

Finding Another Way

Beneath the feathers, fun, and laugh-out-loud comedy is a story about resilience, friendship, and discovering that when one dream doesn’t work out, another opportunity may be just around the corner. Sometimes the most unexpected hero is the one who finds a different way to help.

Swoop on in for a hilarious, irresistible, wonderfully unpredictable morning with one of children’s literature’s most unforgettable characters.
