"Seat belts, everyone!" It’s time for an action-packed adventure with your favorite science teacher, Ms. Frizzle. When the bus gets lost on the way to the planetarium, she saves the day by blasting into outer space for an epic interplanetary field trip! But as rivalries both old and new threaten to tear the students apart, our young heroes must learn to work together or risk getting lost in the solar system forever. Based on the beloved book series, The Magic School Bus, this musical adaptation will encourage us all to “take chances, make mistakes, get messy.”
