It’s time to hit the Cosmodrome. The Off-Broadway premiere of Space Dogs, a new musical by Van Hughes and Nick Blaemire, officially opens February 13 begins January 25 at MCC. Previews began January 25 and the production recently extended through through March 13.
Space Dogs follows the so-absurd-it-must-be-true story of the dogs trained by Russian scientists to travel into outer space. The musical stars Hughes and Blaemire, who co-wrote the book, lyrics, and music. In addition to playing human characters, they use puppets and play instruments to bring the story to life on stage.
