Family musical based on the bestselling Dog Man books by Dav Pilkey, with audio described and relaxed performances at Storyhouse.
Dog Man: The Musical is coming to the Main Theatre at Storyhouse from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 February 2027. It's a new stage adaptation of the bestselling book series by Dav Pilkey, who also wrote Captain Underpants and Cat Kid Comic Club.
The story follows best friends George and Harold, now ten, who decide to write a musical about their favourite character: Dog Man, a crime-fighting hero who's part dog and part man, with the head of a dog and the body of a policeman. It's written by Kevin Del Aguila and Brad Alexander, and directed and choreographed by Jen Wineman. Dog Man goes up against villains like Flippy, the cyborg fish, and Petey, the world's most evil cat, who's cloned himself for revenge. Critics have described it as a family show that makes adults laugh too, with the Los Angeles Times noting it doubles down on the empathy, creativity, friendship and warmth that underpin the material.
