The Magic School Bus: Lost in the Solar System on Tour Throughout the United States through at Least 2020

It seems like a woman in a dress designed with planets, stars, and other things found in outer space is floating out in a far place in the solar system. She is soon saved by one of her students, Janet. However, this doesn't happen before Janet and her cousin, Arnold, have a fight about who gets to save her. That woman is Valerie Felicity Frizzle, the teacher of the class that stars in The Magic School Bus: Lost in the Solar System.

For adults, the show may not be believable unless they remember that theatre depends on the suspension of disbelief. However, for children, the show is always going to be great fun. Most, if not all, of the students, were actually taller than Ms. Frizzle. Although, these days, it is entirely possible to have fourth grade students that are taller than the teacher.

With just some hairstyles, costumes to match those found in the cartoon, and fun voices, the actors believably portray the characters of the series. Ralphie is the klutz and is always hungry. Arnold tends to think he is the smartest kid in the class. Even Carlos's puns (or bad jokes) are included.

The lighting is simple, although there are a lot of flashing effects of the lights. They are often flashed and the actors often use small flashlights for star effects, too. People who are epileptic must be careful because of the flashing lights. This can also be an issue for those sensitive to lights such as those with autism or Asperger's.

The show in Lake Charles, Louisiana starred Tyler Stettler as Arnold, Jay Romero as Carlos, Kim Roth as Janet, Sarah Hogewood as Ms. Frizzle, Jordan Elman as Ralphie, and Kelsey Angel Baehrens as Wanda.
