Magic School Bus Live: The Climate Challenge

“Climb aboard” for a breathtaking field trip as the exuberant Ms. Frizzle, her curious students, and their beloved resident reptile, Liz, travel from the polar ice to the tropics and from the ocean to the upper atmosphere to investigate why the world is getting warmer and why we should care.

This energetic new musical, directed by Tracy Ward and written by Doug Cooney and Scott Elmegreen, with music and lyrics by Scott Elmegreen, follows the adventures of everyone’s favorite Magic School Bus characters—endearingly hesitant Arnold, petite powerhouse Wanda, smart and spunky Keesha, and their classmates—as they sing up a storm, dance along with a hip-hopping Liz, and gather information about global warming and what to do about it.

“There’s something fishy going on with planet Earth,” says Keesha. “We need to find out what!”
