Will Dog Man save the day?

Best buddies George and Harold have been creating comics for years, but now that they’re in 5th grade, 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 musical before lunchtime??

Find out in this epic musical adventure for ages 6+ and all the family, featuring the hilarity and heart of Dav Pilkey’s beloved characters.

Dog Man: The Musical is a performance adventure based on the worldwide bestselling series from Dav Pikey, the creator of the top selling Dog Man and Captain Underpants books.
