Wheels on the Bus
Venue: Gateway Sky Garden
Date: 10 -15 Dec 2022
Number of Shows: 10
Inspired by the ever-popular song of the same name, Wheels on the Bus introduces small theatregoers to a high energy 45 minute interactive musical for children aged 1-5. Originally developed and performed by Bay Area Children’s Theatre in the USA, but adapted for a Singaporean audience, the show takes the audience on a journey through bus driver training school where the young cadets must learn their right from their left and how to count to 10, not to mention some groovy dance moves before they can graduate and officially drive the bus! Through the use of song, dance and dialogue to engage the young audience, the children are taught things such as letters, numbers, and shapes, with the characters on stage interacting directly with the audience.
Each child receives a bag of “toys” which help them interact with the actors on stage through each activity and song – and the kids got to take this “toolbox” with them so they can continue the fun at home!.
Songs, laughs and fun for children aged 1 to 5 and their grown-ups, in the much-loved show that’s wowed audiences in the USA!

“I was having so much fun that I forgot how much time had passed – this show was a great way to not just educate their young ones, but also to stimulate their senses and imaginations. I felt appreciative of the team that made this show possible, who gave the young ones their first taste of theatre, and their parents a reason to bring them back for more!” – Adeeb Fazah, Critics Circle, Singapore
