Synopsis

For Pete the Cat, life is an adventure no matter where you wind up.

So the minute the groovy blue cat meets The Biddles, he gets the whole family rocking.

That is, except for young Jimmy Biddle, the most organized second grader on planet Earth.

But when Jimmy draws a blank in art class during the last week of school, it turns out Pete is the perfect pal to help him out.

Together, they set out on a mission to help Jimmy conquer second grade art, and along the way, they both learn a little something new about inspiration.

Join Jimmy and Pete on an adventure of friendship, all the way to Paris and back in a VW Bus!

Press Reviews

"Believe in yourself’ is a common message in family theater, but this cat and his magic VW bus make delightfully unorthodox vehicles for it. The show also gets plenty of punch from Will Aronson’s pop-rock score, which may remind children’s music aficionados of Justin Roberts at his peppiest."
— The New York Times

"The 45-minute musical, recommended for ages 5-8, is nonstop action, with lively singing and dancing throughout, and plenty of funny jokes and scenes guaranteed to make kids laugh."
— Mommy Poppins

"Pete is encouraging, unflappable and a natural ego booster. Will Aronson’s breezy, upbeat score and Sarah Hammond’s lively book and lyrics capture his charms. This delightful show boasts a sixties’ can-do vibe that endears Pete to the audience... Pete’s rule: Never refuse a hug. This musical deserves a big one."
