Dog Man will battle a cyborg fish in 'Dog Man: The Musical' this winter
The hit book series Dog Man is coming to the stage in the Twin Cities. Hennepin Arts will bring "Dog Man: The Musical" to the Pantages Theatre in Downtown Minneapolis this December, dropping Dav Pilkey's half-dog, half-man into the real world. The show from TheaterWorksUSA, which premiered in 2019, will have five shows over two days on Dec. 6 and 7, about a year after the first film based on the series arrived in theaters. Like the film released in January — also based on the book series by the author of Captain Underpants — the musical sees Dog Man attempting to save his city from Flippy the Cyborg Fish and his army of sentient buildings. At the same time, he's contending with Petey, the evil cat, who may or may not have to join forces with Dog Man. Tickets for the five-show run at Pantages will go on sale Friday, Feb. 28 at 10 a.m.
