The Pigeon Gets a Big Time Holiday Extravaganza
2026-07-17 18:30 - 19:30, 2026-07-24 18:30 - 19:30, 2026-07-31 18:30 - 19:30, 2026-08-07 18:30 - 19:30 | The Rose Theater, 2001 Farnam St, Omaha, NE, 68102, United States
Based on Books and Characters by Mo Willems
Script and Lyrics by Mo Willems and Adam Tobin
Music by Deborah Wicks La Puma
Dramaturgy by Megan Alrutz
Produced by special arrangement with Hidden Pigeon, LLC. Originally commissioned and developed by Children’s Theater of Madison, Dallas Children’s Theatre, First Stage, Main Street Theater, Seattle Children’s Theatre, The Coterie, and The Rose Theater.
When Mo Willems’ characters get together for the holidays, it’s bound to be the biggest extravaganza ever! The Unlimited Squirrels deck the halls and Elephant and Piggie come ready to celebrate! But will The Pigeon join in the festivities, or will he run all the way to the North Pole in the search of the greatest gift ever? Catchy tunes, silly stories, goofy gifts, audience antics: it’s all in this brand-new musical party that sleighs!
After the show, warm up with hot chocolate! The first 50 kids at each performance get a voucher for a free hot chocolate after the show – served by our friends at Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee Truck parked right outside. Parents and grown-ups can purchase from their full menu, too!
