Dog Man: The Musical

Dive into the epic musical adventure of Dog Man, featuring the hilarity and heart of author Dav Pilkey’s beloved characters.

Part of Summer Time

Dog Man: The Musical is a hilarious new musical based on the worldwide bestselling book series from Dav Pilkey, the creator of Captain Underpants and Cat Kid Comic Club.

Best friends George and Harold have been creating comics for years, but now that they’re ten, they figure it’s time to level up and write a musical based on their favourite character, Dog Man, the crime-biting sensation who is part dog, part man and ALL HERO! How hard could it be?

With the head of a dog and the body of a policeman, Dog Man 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?
