From the mind of Caldecott winning picture book author Mo Willems comes the story of a father and daughter’s trip to the laundromat that proves life’s greatest adventures can happen anytime! When young Trixie accidentally loses her beloved *Knuffle Bunny*, retrieving the stuffed rabbit becomes priority number one, even if slightly inept Dad doesn’t quite understand her cries of distress. With music, comedy and spectacle that will entertain kids and adults alike, we “caution” you not to miss this show!
