13-18, 2009 and is presented by Hennepin Theatre Trust as part of its 2009/10 Broadway Across America-Minneapolis season.

The 101 Dalmatians Musical is led by an award-winning creative team including four-time Tony Award-winning director Jerry Zaks (A Bronx Tale, Smokey Joe's Café and Guys and Dolls), acclaimed bookwriter and co-lyricist B.T. McNicholl (Billy Elliot, Spamalot and The It Girl) and Dennis DeYoung, founding member of the rock band Styx, on board as composer and co-lyricist. After its North American premiere at the historic Orpheum Theatre, it will later travel to major venues across the country including a three-week engagement from April 6-25, 2010 at New York City's famed Madison Square Garden.

The musical, based on the book by Dodie Smith, follows Dalmatian spouses Pongo and Missis Pongo who are living the good life in London with their "pets" Charles and Catherine Dearly. When their ten puppies are suddenly "dognapped" by the villainous Cruella de Vil, they summon a vast network of dogs and set off to rescue their pups. The 101 Dalmatians Musical also features a surprise grand finale showcasing the tremendous talents of the professional and rescued Dalmatians. The dogs were all trained by one of the world's foremost animal trainers, Joel Slaven, who has worked extensively with Jack Hanna on such feature films as "Ace Ventura Pet Detective" and "That Darn Cat."
