The smash hit musical 101 Dalmatians is heading out on a major tour of the UK and Ireland, launching at the New Wimbledon Theatre on 22 June.
Adapted from Dodie Smith's beloved novel and famously brought to life in several Disney blockbuster films, ‘101 Dalmatians The Musical' has been reimagined by Zinnie Harris, featuring music and lyrics from multi-talented actor, writer, and composer Douglas Hodge, with a script penned by Johnny McKnight.
When fashionista Cruella de Vil plots to swipe all the Dalmatian puppies in town to create her fabulous new fur coat, there’s trouble ahead for Pongo and Perdi and their litter of adorable, tail-wagging young pups. Dodie Smith’s classic canine caper is brought to life on stage with spectacular puppetry, show-stopping choreography, witty songs and irresistible puppies!
