The Magic School Bus: A Traumedy

I've had the privilege of now seeing 2 of Bonnie's last 3 shows that all deal with the topic of sexual violence. I enjoyed this one -- Magic School Bus -- the best. Her writing is witty and she does a superb job of involving the audience in clever and fun ways. But, the moment that is forever seared on my heart is her ending song. Still wiping away the tears. Well done, Bonnie. Your energy and creativity are truly magical to watch.... full review

Bonnie Joy Sludikoff is a powerhouse, an incredibly talented actress, singer and writer. In The Magic Schoolbus she takes the audience on a ride unlike anything before. Through a very personal and serious story she manages to infuse humor and inventive stagecraft resulting in a great thrill ride of an hour long show. I loved it. I love her! Sorry if that's creepy!... full review

Bonnie is a true artist through and through. She is intelligent, sincere, and of course incredibly funny. Her writing is so creative and balances hard subject matter with comedy so beautifully. Her willingness to share and be so vulnerable is admirable. Thank you, Bonnie, for sharing your gifts and your story. Go see this gem of a show, you won't be sorry!!... full review

This show strikes the perfect balance of incorporating humor/absurdity to navigate through deep emotional territory and serious subject matter. Bonnie takes us in her school bus of fun and stops at each trauma center in her body. We get just a taste, just the residue of the experiences, but we have enough, and by the end of the ride, we are absolutely blown away. Bonnie's final song is haunting and beautiful, she gave me chills, made me laugh and cry. I fell in love with her after seeing this show. How could anyone not? ... full review

Good for you!! You should be proud of yourself! ... full review

A fun, energetic, creative, delightful and honest way to explore the physical toll trauma has on the body told by a charming and effervescent school teacher and her less-exuberant, but no less entertaining, students! (Plus some pretty awesome singing!)... full review

Bonnie's show is full of nostalgia, humor, and most importantly, heart, and her charisma and energy spreads throughout the studio that I couldn't help but smile the whole way through. She's a fantastic storyteller, and I really engaged on the moments where she just talked and told the story the most.... full review

A fun romp, with glow sticks, singing, fun tech, and humor. Time to go on a nostalgic ride with Miss Frizzle quite literally inside of Bonnie.... full review
