, Illinois

and No. 1 for Top Cast Albums.
Suddenly, a starship arrives on Bug-World, and Starship Ranger February of the Galactic League of Extraterrestrial Exploration (G.L.E.E.
) touches down on the planet's surface. She quickly meets with what she believes to be the planet's indigenous life, but quickly runs into the Mosquito brothers who chase her. She ends up being captured by a couple of "mammal
wranglers." The Starship Rangers remaining on the ship: Specs, Krayonder, Tootsie Noodles, Taz, and Commander Up, receive a distress signal
that their comrade is in danger. Before the team leaves, Junior the son of the president of G.L.E.E., gives them an android named Mega-Girl to take along, which the team reluctantly accepts because of the not-so-long-ago Robot Wars. Up received a famous injury during the Robot Wars so he is reluctant to go at all, but Taz convinces him that he is still the man he once was ("Get Back Up").
Bug isn't adapting well to his first day of being an egg planter because all he can think about are the worlds beyond the stars ("Life"). Bug finds February, who has been blinded and is being held captive. Because she cannot see, and Bug is the only Bug-World inhabitant who known the human language (from watching the videos on the crashed ship so many times), February thinks that Bug is another captured Starship Ranger. Bug sees this as his opportunity to live out his dreams, so he frees February and runs away with her.
Up and the other Rangers find their way to where February's communication device's signal is coming from and encounter some of the bug inhabitants of Bug-World ("Hideous Creatures"). Bug tries to tell February the truth amongst the fighting between the Rangers and bugs, but is interrupted when Mega-Girl attacks him with her lasers, ultimately causing Bug to run away and the Rangers to regain February. However, Mega-Girl betrays the Rangers and leaves them behind, taking only the now-unconscious February with her.
Bug is brought before the Overqueen because of his actions, and is sentenced to death. Before he can be squashed, Roach arrives and sticks up for him. Because of this, the Overqueen lets Bug live, but forbids him from ever making contact with humans again. Bug is then visited by the Mosquito brothers who take Bug to meet their boss, Pincer. Bug and Pincer discuss how they each want to befriend the humans. Bug explains that he knows the human language, but February believes that he is a human. Pincer doesn't see this as a problem because of a machine he recovered from the crashed straship allowing Bug to transfer his mind into a human body that is brain dead
, meaning, he can become a Starship Ranger, to which he agrees ("Kick It Up a Notch").
The Rangers escape from the bugs, but are not dealing well with being stranded on the bug planet, especially Taz who finally realizes that Up has gone soft since the resolution of the Robot Wars, causing Taz to take over as the leader of the Rangers. The team then gets stuck in a giant spider's web, but Bug, now in a human body, tells the spider not to eat them and joins the Rangers, who think he is the sole survivor of the starship crash from eighteen years before. The group decides to find February's ship to get back to their own. Roach tries to talk Bug out of going, but he has made up his mind to live his dream ("Status Quo").
and mass-produce an alien bug army. However, when Mega-Girl scans February, no alien life is detected. The Rangers make it back to the ship, but Junior thinks quickly of a way to keep the ship near the planet, so he tells the Rangers that the ship's warp crystals are missing, meaning they are stuck there. Everyone goes their separate ways to rest before beginning the hunt for the crystals. Tootsie confesses his feelings for Mega-Girl, while Bug struggles to tell February the truth about himself ("The Way I Do").
Bug goes to Up for some advice about his situation with February, but ends up helping Up overcome his feelings of weakness by telling him that caring for people does not make one weak, it makes them stronger. Up convinces Bug that being himself is what is important, and so Bug decides to take February back to Bug-World to show her his true self. Junior overhears all this and plans to go after them so he can kill Bug and re-initiate his plan of getting February implanted with a bug egg. Junior asks Mega-Girl to keep the Rangers distracted, but she refuses because of her feelings for Tootsie. Junior sees this as a problem and removes her inhibitor chip, causing her to become what all robots are at their cores: mindless killing machines.
Meanwhile, Bug brings February back to Bug-World to try to show her his true self through bug culture. The other bugs look at the humans with disgust, but Roach explains that there is beauty in everything ("Beauty"). February is less than impressed with Bug-World, leading Bug to have second thoughts about revealing his secret. However February suddenly has the idea that Bug must have brought her to Bug-World to take her to his crashed starship to obtain its warp crystals. Junior fallows after them, but is then captured by the Mosquito brothers.
Bug brings February to his starship, and the two stumble upon a more complete version of one of the videos Bug had been watching, revealing that G.L.E.E. already knew about the bug inhabitants. February then puts the pieces together to Junior's plan, and the duo rushes back to the ship to warn the other Rangers. As this is going on, Junior is brought to Pincer's lair, where Pincer reveals that he killed the survivors of the starship crash eighteen years before, and that Bug, who is in fact a bug, is actually working for him. Junior tells Pincer that Bug is working with the humans, so in exchange for his life, weapons, and secrets about the Overqueen and her hive, Junior forms an alliance with Pincer and promises to get him humans to eat.
Bug and February return to the starship where they tell the crew about Junior's diabolical plan. Suddenly, Pincer and the Mosquito brothers invade the ship and Pincer threatens Bug into telling the Rangers the truth about him. Just before Pincer can begin eating the Rangers, Mega-Girl begins attacking the ship. Mega-Girl attacks Tootsie, but Tootsie's showing of affection causes her to donwload emotion software, allowing them to be together. Meanwhile, Up saves Taz from the Mosquito brothers, forcing each of them to drink more of his blood than their bodies could handle, causing them each to violently explode. In a heroic attempt to save February from being eaten by Pincer, Bug stabs Pincer and locks the two of them in the airlock
. Bug confesses his love for February and says his final goodbyes to his friends before having February jettison Bug and Pincer from the airlock into space.
Because his human body was destroyed, Bug's mind returns to his bug body on Bug-World, where Junior is attacking the hive ("Kick It Up a Notch (Reprise)"). Bug catches up with Junior at the Overqueen's lair, for Junior wants to take her back to Earth. Junior fires his weapon at Bug and Bugette jumps in the way of the bullets, sacrificing herself for Bug. Her larva
then spring from her egg sac and attack Junior, devouring him. The bugs rejoice that their hive has been saved. The Overqueen appoints Bug as an ambassador between Bug-World and other planets, but Bug decides to seek out his Ranger friends to see if he still deserved the job. Up and the starship crew lay Bug's human body to rest. Bug shows his true self to them and February gets over her distaste of bugs so that she and Bug can finally be together. Tootsie and Mega-Girl get married
, and humans, bugs, and machines all learn to live together in harmony ("Beauty (Reprise)").
Excluding Joey Richter, all the actors also performed minor ensemble roles throughout the musical.
