Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical! is running now through February 23rd at Stages Theatre Company in Hopkins.

Are you familiar with the kids book, Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus! by Mo Willems? This musical is the same story as the beloved book by Mo Willems, so if you have kiddos that love the book– you need to see this musical!

My daughter and I have read the book before, but it’s been a while. I thought I would see if it affected our experience at the musical and it didn’t. You don’t need to know the book at all to understand the premise– a pigeon decides he wants to drive a bus!

Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical! is super fun, from the moveable sets to the bright costume design, this musical is a silly and engaging adventure. The audience gets hooked into the story right away, a poor pigeon is always told NO so he decides to come up with a new dream: to drive the bus.

This musical had adults and kids alike laughing! The dialogue is witty, the songs are catchy and the show is pure joy. Stages Theatre Company always has amazing performers but this cast was next level! I was a bit sad when the performance was over, but it was the perfect length for the youngest theatre goers.

Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical! is running now through February 23rd at Stages Theatre Company in Hopkins. Located in the Mainstage Theatre, this show is recommended for all ages and it’s 60 minutes long with no intermission.

Stages Theatre Company always does a wonderful job creating their Resource Guide. It has a great plot summary (there are spoilers!), behind the scenes info, games, activities and so much more. My favorite section includes the discussion questions, they are perfect conversation starters for the ride home!
