OBSERVER: Dog Man The Musical


Dog Man: the Musical is the performance adventure based on Dav Pilkey’s worldwide bestselling book series, and returns to Melbourne for 10 performances from September 30 – October 4 at the Playhouse, Arts Centre Melbourne.
The show follows the chronicles of a canine superhero, who loves to fight crime … and chew on the furniture.
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?
Described as an ‘epic musical adventure’, the show is 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 and Other Destinations), with orchestrations by Lloyd Kikoler.
