101 DALMATIANS MUSICAL TOUR
It has just been announced that a touring musical version of 101 Dalmatians is due to hit the road next summer. It is based on the production that played at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre in the summer of 2022, which was based on Dodie Smith's famous novel which was featured in several Disney films. 101 Dalmatians The Musical has been reimagined by Zinnie Harris, featuring music and lyrics from actor, writer, and composer Douglas Hodge, with a script by Johnny McKnight
It tells the story of evil fashionista Cruella de Vil who hatches a plan to capture all the Dalmatian puppies in town for her extravagant new fur coat, causing trouble to loom for parents Pongo and Perdi, along with their large litter of young pups. This tale of canine adventure is vividly portrayed on stage, featuring breathtaking puppetry, dazzling choreography, cleverly crafted songs, and adorable puppies!
The production will open in Wimbledon on 22nd June 2024, before visiting Birmingham, Norwich, Canterbury, Leicester, Manchester, Belfast, Wolverhampton, Newcastle, Southend, Liverpool, Milton Keynes, Woking, Cardiff, Southampton, Aberdeen, York, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
