What I liked

I loved the casting of each of the dogs (and chimp and human), each actor seemed to such a perfect fit for their role. The songs and choreography were so creative and every member of the cast was strong in their delivery, not once faltering. Even when Barf started to lose it himself with “Alpha/Beta” it just added another layer of enjoyment for the audience, seeing him enjoying himself and clearly being in the flow of his role.

What I didn't like

My overall impression

Dogs: The Musical is a joyous experience. If dogs could speak, this play hits the bulls-eye with they would say about humans. The actors so thoroughly inhabited their roles that you forgot they were humans just playing dogs (and chimp!). We enjoyed every moment of the play. It was hilarious yet poignant enough to bring tears to the eyes.
