Following sell-out seasons across Australia, Dog Man The Musical makes its Melbourne premiere these Summer school holidays at the Athenaeum Theatre from 17 – 28 January 2024.
Based on Dav Pilkey’s beloved books, Dog Man The Musical follows the chronicles of a canine superhero who loves to fight crime and chew on the furniture.
But while trying his best to be a good boy, can he save the city from Flippy the cyborg fish and his army of Beasty Buildings? Can he catch Petey, the world's most evil cat, who has cloned himself to exact revenge on the doggy do-gooder? And will George and Harold finish their show before lunchtime?
This epic musical adventure features the hilarity and heart of Dav Pilkey’s beloved characters, in a colourful live adaptation featuring an original book and lyrics by Kevin Del Aguila (Emmy-winning writer of the PBS show Peg Cat) and music by Brad Alexander (See Rock City & Other Destinations), with orchestrations by Lloyd Kikoler.
Dog Man The Musical had a previous off-Broadway run at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in 2019.
