After delighting families across the UK in 2026, Roast Productions has today announced further UK tour dates in 2027 for the European premiere of Dog Man: The Musical, including a runs at Malvern Festival Theatre (Friday 12 to Sunday 14 February) and Lichfield Garrick (Friday 11 to Sunday 13 June). 

This hilarious and heartfelt new musical, for everyone over 5, is based on the worldwide bestselling book series by Dav Pilkey (with new book, A Sprinkle in Time, set for release on Tuesday 3 November), the creator of Captain Underpants and Cat Kid Comic Club. Dog Man: The Musical has come to the UK after playing to packed houses in the US where it had multiple sell-out Off-Broadway seasons and US tours.  Tickets for the tour are now on sale.

Returning to the cast in 2027 will be Vanessa Dumatey (I’m Every Woman, Hackney Empire & UK Tour; The Tina Turner Musical, Aldwych Theatre, West End) as Flippy, Sam Kipling (Les Misérables, Sondheim Theatre; The Mikado Wilton’s Music Hall & UK Tour) as Petey, Shannon Bourne (Becoming Nancy, Birmingham Rep, Stranger Sings, UK Tour) as Flippy + Li'l Petey cover and Robert Wilkes (La Traviata, Royal Opera House, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, UK & Ireland Tour & Leeds Playhouse) as Dog Man and  Petey cover. Further casting is to be announced.

This epic musical adventure has a book and lyrics by Kevin Del Aguila (two-time Emmy Award-winning writer of the PBS show Peg + Cat), music by Brad Alexander(Drama Desk-nominated See Rock City & Other Destinations); and is directed and choreographed by Jen Wineman (NY: Less Than 50%).

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?

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?
