Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! (The Musical!) at The Kennedy Center

Performances For Young Audiences at The Kennedy Center presents Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, on stage from Saturday, November 23, 2019 – Sunday, January 5, 2020.

Hop on board for an unforgettable ride with the Pigeon. Whatever you do, don’t let the Pigeon star in his own musical production! 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. 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.

With a script written by Mo Willems, the creator of the #1 New York Times best-selling, Caldecott Honor award–winning “Pigeon” picture books, along with longtime collaborator and Disney Jr.’s Muppet Babies executive producer Mr. Warburton, and featuring music by Deborah Wicks La Puma, the composer behind Elephant & Piggie’s We Are in a Play!, this comedic musical production is even more fun than staying up late and having a hot dog party!

Most enjoyed by ages 5 and up. All patrons, regardless of age, must have a ticket. Find tickets here

Dec. 14 at 11am & Jan. 5 at 1:30pm are sensory-friendly performances.
Sensory-friendly performances are designed to create a performing arts experience that is welcoming to all families, including those with children with autism or other sensory sensitivities.
