The European premiere of the musical based on the worldwide bestselling book series by Dav Pilkey, will open its UK tour at the Leicester Curve (16-19 July).
Rehearsal images have now been released for the upcoming European premiere of Dog Man: The Musical, which will be embarking on a UK tour until the October, with dates for 2027 to be confirmed.
The cast is formed of: Vanessa Dumatey as Flippy, Sam Kipling as Petey, Peter Lavery as Harold, Ricardo Mendes as George, Rebecca-Jo Roberts as L’il Petey and Renan Teodoro as Dog Man. Meanwhile, the company is completed by Richener Bissereth, Shannon Bourne and Robert Wilkes.
Best friends George and Harold have been creating comics for years, but now that they’re 10, 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 show before lunchtime?
After Leicester, the show will then visit: Crewe Lyceum (21-23 July), London Southbank
Centre (29 July – 16 August), Southend Palace (18-20 August), Hertford Beam (24-26 August), Wolverhampton Grand (28-29 August), Eastbourne Devonshire Park (4-5 September), Darlington Hippodrome (11-13 September), Torquay Princess Theatre (26-27 September), Halifax Victoria (3-4 October), Cardiff Wales Millennium Centre (16-17 October), Fareham Live (23-25 October) and Wycombe Swan (26-28 October).
