Dog Man: The Musical, based on Dav Pilkey's bestselling children's book series, will play Aylesbury Waterside Theatre in March 2027.
Dog Man: The Musical will play Aylesbury Waterside Theatre from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 March 2027. The show is based on Dav Pilkey's bestselling children's book series and is suitable for audiences aged five and above. Tickets are on sale through atgtickets.com/aylesbury.
The story follows best friends George and Harold, aged 10, who decide to turn their favourite character, Dog Man, into a musical. Dog Man has the head of a dog and the body of a policeman, and fights crime while trying to protect the city from danger. His enemies include Flippy, a cyborg fish with an army of Beasty Buildings, and Petey, the world's most evil cat, who has cloned himself as part of a revenge plot against Dog Man.
The musical features a book and lyrics by Kevin Del Aguila, a two-time Emmy Award-winning writer. Music is by Brad Alexander, and the production is directed and choreographed by Jen Wineman. The cast includes Vanessa Dumatey as Flippy, Sam Kipling as Petey, Shannon Bourne covering both Flippy and Li'l Petey, and Robert Wilkes as Dog Man with cover duties for Petey.
The production was originally created by TheaterWorksUSA and premiered off-Broadway in June 2019 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre before extending due to demand. It returned to New York at New World Stages in March 2023. The Dog Man book series launched in 2016 and has sold more than 70 million copies worldwide.
