Tickets on Sale Now for DOG MAN: THE MUSICAL at the Kirk Douglas Theatre

Center Theatre Group will present TheaterWorksUSA’s"New York Times” Critic’s Pick, “Dog Man: The Musical” based on the worldwide best-selling book series by Dav Pilkey. “Dog Man: The Musical” will be presented on November 21, 2023—January 7, 2024 at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City. Tickets and information are available at Click Here.

“Dog Man: The Musical” is a hilarious and heartwarming production following the chronicles of Dog Man, who with the head of a dog and the body of a policeman, 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?

Best buds 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 favorite character, Dog Man, the crime-biting sensation who is part dog, part man, and all hero! How hard could it be?  And will George and Harold finish their show before lunchtime??

Find out in this epic musical adventure featuring the hilarity and heart of beloved characters from Dav Pilkey, the creator of "Captain Underpants” and “Cat Kid Comic Club.” Recommended for ages 6—10.

“Dog Man: The Musical” has book and lyrics by Kevin Del Aguila (two-time Emmy Award-winning writer of the PBS show “Peg + Cat”), and music by Brad Alexander (Drama Desk Nominated “See Rock City & Other Destinations”), with original direction and choreography by Jen Wineman (NY: “Less Than 50%”).

“Newsday” called the show “a howling good time. This show is perfect for everyone.” While “New York Family” said it was an “epic musical adventure featuring hilarity and heart.” And “Theater Life” stated, “As Dickens might say, it’s a far, far better show they’ve done than many I've seen before. Dog Man should be every kid’s best friend.”

Pilkey himself said of this production, “’Dog Man: The Musical’ surpasses my highest expectations. It is the ‘Perfect Mash-up’ of memorable music, humor, and love.”
