About the Show

Oh. My. Pigeon. It’s #1 bestselling, lunch doodling, Caldecott Honor and Emmy Award-winning author Mo Willems, live on the New Victory stage! Fresh from sold-out shindigs at San Francisco Sketchfest, The Mo & Co. Show draws fans of Mo's beloved children's book characters—"bestus" pals Elephant and Piggie, Knuffle Bunny and more—into a rowdy hour of riffing and reading. With kids' music superstar Kate Micucci on ukulele, and author and muse Cher Willems manning the projections, Mo performs a handful of classic stories, guided in true improv fashion by conversations with the audience. Wiggle, giggle and guffaw at this silly storytime celebration that's never performed quite the same way twice.
