When the class gets lost on the way to the planetarium, Ms. Frizzle saves the day by blasting into outer space for an epic interplanetary field trip. As the Magic School Bus explores the solar system, Ms. Frizzle gets separated from the group and her class must travel through the planets and beyond to rescue her. But when rivalries both old and new threaten to tear the students apart, our young heroes must learn to pull together or risk getting forever lost in space.
With music and lyrics by Matthew Lee Robinson, the show features six cast members and more than 10 musical numbers. Original Magic School Bus director/choreographer Connor Gallagher is also the choreographer of the Broadway-bound musical Beetlejuice, and he directed and choreographed Beauty and the Beast for Disney Cruise Line.
