The Pigeon Gets A Big Time Holiday Extravaganza

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

When Unlimited Squirrels arrive with decorations and The Pigeon starts wondering whether the North Pole holds the greatest gift of all, you know the holiday celebration at The Coterie Theatre won't follow a single careful plan. Mo Willems and Adam Tobin's musical, with music by Deborah Wicks La Puma, brings Elephant, Piggie and The Pigeon together for an hour of silly stories, songs and gifts—and each character brings a completely different idea of what makes a celebration work.

Kids who've laughed at these characters on the page get to watch their contrasting personalities play out in a full musical production. Elephant and Piggie celebrate with their usual enthusiasm. The Pigeon has other thoughts. The squirrels handle décor. The party has plenty to offer, but that possible trip north adds a funny question: can the celebration compete with the promise of the greatest gift? Songs give this book-inspired gathering its own musical identity.

Because this all-ages musical runs about sixty minutes, families can enjoy a substantial theater experience without the marathon commitment some holiday productions demand. The Coterie presents this rolling world premiere with audience antics woven into the action, so the room becomes part of the celebration. You're watching beloved characters navigate their own holiday chaos in Kansas City, in a new musical story.
