The Pigeon Gets A Big Time Holiday Extravaganza

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

When The Pigeon starts eyeing the North Pole as a potential escape from the season's chaos, you know the holiday spirit might take an unexpected turn. Mo Willems and Adam Tobin have written a brand-new musical that drops three wildly different personalities into the same celebration—Elephant and Piggie embrace every joyful moment while their feathered friend contemplates what really makes the greatest gift. Deborah Wicks La Puma's original music carries the story through approximately sixty minutes of silly complications, seasonal songs and pure theatrical fun.

The Coterie Theatre brings this rolling world premiere to Kansas City audiences of all ages, which means you're among the first anywhere to see these beloved storybook characters navigate the holidays in musical form. Unlimited Squirrels throw themselves into decorating mode while Elephant and Piggie celebrate with their trademark enthusiasm, creating a collision of approaches that gives the show its comic heart. The production blends Willems' sharp humor with La Puma's melodies, adding audience antics that turn the theater into one unpredictable holiday gathering.

At just an hour, The Pigeon Gets A Big Time Holiday Extravaganza fits neatly into a family's day while delivering the kind of seasonal storytelling that works whether you're six or sixty.
