The Pigeon Gets A Big Time Holiday Extravaganza

The Pigeon Gets A Big Time Holiday Extravaganza at The Coterie Theatre

Want a sixty-minute reprieve from the season's longest productions? The Pigeon Gets A Big Time Holiday Extravaganza arrives at The Coterie Theatre in a rolling world premiere created by Mo Willems and collaborators Adam Tobin and Deborah Wicks La Puma.

This isn't a generic concert of seasonal classics. The Pigeon—yes, that Pigeon—is contemplating a North Pole getaway to hunt down the greatest gift imaginable, while Unlimited Squirrels tackle decorating and Elephant and Piggie handle the celebrating. The script follows that comic impulse through silly stories and new songs, turning gift-hunting anxiety into the kind of mischief Willems fans already know.

Because the show runs about an hour, families have a manageable theater plan. The Coterie designed this musical for all ages to share, and the format keeps everyone moving through gifts, squirrel chaos and whatever The Pigeon decides about that North Pole plan. Audience antics join the songs and silly stories, so the room stays lively while the story does its work.

The rolling world premiere puts The Coterie among the new musical’s first productions, offering book-loving families a different adventure for familiar characters. It's not a lecture on giving or a parade of familiar carols—just The Pigeon, a temptation, and a lot of comic trouble along the way.
