Specially-priced youth and student tickets available! DOG MAN: THE MUSICAL is a hilarious and heartwarming production following the chronicles of Dog Man. 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?
With book and lyrics by Kevin Del Aguila (two-time Emmy Award-winning writer of the PBS show Peg + Cat), DOG MAN: THE MUSICAL has been hailed by Newsday as “Perfect for everyone”, while The New York Times proclaims, “You have to love a family show that makes adults laugh too.”
