People behind the production
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is more than a book—it's a cultural touchstone that has inspired music, theatre, and joyful learning for young audiences. Originating from the 1989 picture book by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault with illustrations by Lois Ehlert (Simon & Schuster), the story charted The New York Times Best Seller list for children's books in 2000. The project expanded into an album, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and Other Coconutty Songs, first released in 1992 and later reissued in 2000 and again in 2004. The music has earned notable awards, including a 1992 Notable Children's Recording by the American Library Association and a 1993 Parents’ Choice Award. In 2025, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom entered the world of live theatre with the Seattle Children’s Theatre debut of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom: The Musical, followed by engagements in New York and other cities through 2026.
