Description
Charlie Chaplin made a film with this same title in the silent film days. Ever since then, Hollywood has paraded talented canines like Rin Tin Tin, Lassie, Asta, and Benji whose exploits have entertained us in every decade. This refreshing new musical, A Dog’s Life, romps through the same beloved territory and manages to be goofily hilarious and sweetly moving. This piece tells the story of a rescued pooch, the young man who adopts him, and a complicated pack of four footed pals, all puzzled by the strange ways of the humans around them.
Show officially opens May 26. Purchase tickets online or by calling 214-871-3300.

Saw this on the opening weekend. It has a whimsical feel to it, some good running gags, and strong performances by the the three 'dogs' (particularly Marcus Mauldin). However, the songs are not memorable and it's baffling that the director did not make the 'dogs' look like dogs (he should have watched Lloyd Webber's 'Cats'). On balance, I can't recommend it.
