The Pigeon Gets A Big Time Holiday Extravaganza

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

When The Pigeon starts seriously planning a trip to the North Pole to hunt down the greatest gift imaginable, you know the holiday season at The Coterie Theatre has taken a wonderfully ridiculous turn. This all-ages musical brings Mo Willems's beloved characters off the page and onto the Kansas City stage in a rolling world premiere that proves a one-hour holiday show can deliver both substance and pure silliness.

Elephant and Piggie aren't about to let The Pigeon brood alone. They're celebrating with their own brand of friendship and optimism, while an army of Unlimited Squirrels turns decoration into gleeful chaos. Three wildly different personalities colliding over gifts, songs and the meaning of the season—that's where the fun lives. Mo Willems and Adam Tobin’s lyrics and Deborah Wicks La Puma's music give each character a voice that matches their quirks, so the humor lands through melody as much as dialogue.

Because this production runs roughly sixty minutes, families get a complete musical experience without the marathon. That manageable running time can help families choose a full musical story for younger theatergoers. The Coterie presents a new stage adventure for familiar friends, combining story, music and audience antics in a package designed for everyone in the room.

If The Pigeon's quest, Elephant and Piggie's enthusiasm, and a squirrel invasion sound like your kind of holiday celebration, grab tickets for The Pigeon Gets A Big Time Holiday Extravaganza.
