Overview

The story takes place in Bunyan Bay, Minnesota, in a little bar called "The Bunyan," owned by Clara and Gunner Johnson. Clara is 8½ months pregnant with their first child, and today she's looking forward to her baby shower, getting lots of presents, and taking a break from her raging hormones. Suddenly, a freak snow storm, a "tsnownami," hits Bunyan Bay and they find themselves snowed in. All roads are closed. No one can get in or leave. Gunner's worst nightmare comes true when Clara goes into labor and he realizes he's going to have to deliver the baby in the bar.

Featuring 17 original songs, including "Babies and Beer," "If I Only Had a Boy," "Bun in the Oven," "Baby Fever," "The 'Just Got Hosed Over by a Dork' Blues," and "If Men Had Babies, We'd All Be Extinct."

Don't Hug Me, I'm Pregnant is the fourth in the smash hit Don't Hug Me series of musical comedies. The others include Don't Hug Me, A Don't Hug Me Christmas Carol, and A Don't Hug Me County Fair, also available from Samuel French! The Don't Hug Me musicals are all stand alone musicals. You do not have to see them in any particular order to fully enjoy them.
