Lulu and Sam can rarely agree what games to play and what rules to play them by. Will their make-believe alter egos Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy be able to learn how to work together to save the playground from hairy monsters and big mean robots? Based on the popular Ladybug Girl children's series, this brand new musical will buzz into your heart, as the Bug Squad explore the power of imagination.
