It's not easy being the Pigeon - you never get to do ANYTHING! DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS! THE MUSICAL! brings to life the story of the Pigeon, who dreams of taking the wheel when the Bus Driver faces a crisis that threatens to delay her passengers. With his expertise in begging, negotiating, and pleading, the Pigeon’s mission to drive the bus and find his new purpose becomes a hilarious, knee-slapping and engaging adventure that will have everyone’s wings flapping.
This production of DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS! THE MUSICAL! stars Matty Bettencourt, Lydia Burke, Dan Gold, Leah Morrow, Tommy Rivera-Vega, Allison Sill, with understudies Bridget Adams-King, Marcus Jackson, Aisha Sougou and Ian C Weber.
