SPACE DOGS

SPACE DOGS is an epic new musical that tells the mind-blowing-yet-true story of Laika and the Chief Designer — a stray dog and the top-secret Russian scientist who sent her to the stars during the Cold War Space Race.

The rock musical docu-comedy is a two-hander written by Van Hughes and Nick Blaemire, who play and sing all the songs, as well as all of the characters: the Chief Designer, Laika, various high-level politicians and covert scientists, and 40 Russian dogs, using puppets, props and imagination.

SPACE DOGS is a sweeping, kaleidoscopic tale of invention, betrayal, international political intrigue, and the immortal friendship that exists between man and dog, as they journey together to the stars.
