About Choo Choo Revue

All aboard Choo Choo Revue! In Bob Baker Marionette Theater’s first new show in 40 years, your theater seat becomes a train ticket to the land of imagination.

Through the train window of BBMT’s stage, see rolling (and flipping!) hills, dancing luggage, and singing mushrooms. This hour-long show travels through mossy forests, sandy beaches, grassy plains, mountainous peaks, and bustling city streets, stoping to say hello to the wonderful creatures that inhabit each landscape. A monumental milestone for BBMT and celebration of community and joy, hop on the train and join us for Choo Choo Revue!
