Ms. Frizzle and her spectacular bus are coming to town! TheaterWorksUSA’s family musical, The Magic School Bus: Lost in the Solar System, based on the best-selling book series by Scholastic, arrives at The Great New York State Fair’s Chevy Court on Sunday, September 6, at 1 p.m.

When a field trip takes an unexpected turn, Ms. Frizzle turns chaos into adventure—launching her class on an unforgettable journey through the solar system. As they explore the unique environments of Mercury, Venus, and Mars, tensions rise, and rivalries threaten to derail the mission. With Ms. Frizzle at the helm, the students must learn to work together to find their way home, discovering that teamwork is just as important as science. Packed with excitement, humor, and educational discovery, this family-friendly adventure brings beloved characters to life for audiences of all ages (and recommended for kids ages 5–10).

The Magic School Bus: Lost in the Solar System is written by Marshall Pailet (book) and Matthew Lee Robinson (music and lyrics), based on the book series by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. The original creative team includes direction and choreography by Connor Gallagher (Broadway: Beetlejuice), set design by Jason Sherwood (Broadway: Living on Love), costume design by Sarah Cubbage (Broadway: Skylight, Fish in the Dark), and lighting design by David Lander (Broadway: The Lightning Thief, Torch Song).
