Dog Man: The Musical features a book and lyrics by Kevin Del Aguila, music by Brad Alexander, and is directed and choreographed by Jen Wineman.
Since launching in 2016, Pilkey’s Dog Man series has sold more than 70 million copies worldwide and been translated into 48 languages. The books inspired the successful DreamWorks animated film released in 2025.
The musical follows best friends George and Harold as they attempt to create a stage show based on their favourite comic book hero. With the head of a dog and the body of a policeman, Dog Man must battle villains including Flippy the cyborg fish and Petey the world’s most evil cat while trying to save the city.
Suitable for audiences aged five and above, the production is adapted from several books in Pilkey’s acclaimed graphic novel series and is produced by Roast Productions and Tilted by special arrangement with TWTheatricals.
