Dog Man, the half-canine crimefighter dreamed up by Captain Underpants author and illustrator Dav Pilkey, is to make his London theatre debut.
A musical based on the bestselling comic books will receive its European premiere at the Southbank Centre next summer. First seen off-Broadway in 2019, it is framed as a show created by best friends George and Harold, the duo Pilkey presents as the comic’s creators. Drawing on instalments from the series including A Tale of Two Kitties and Lord of the Fleas, the plot brings together familiar characters from the irreverent Dog Man world such as the dastardly cat Petey, his clone Lil’ Petey, the robot 80-HD and the cyborg fish Flippy.
