Lortel Nominated, Drama Desk Nominated & Extended Twice
“Pixar-level heartbreak… Dazzling.” —The New York Times
"Enthusiasm is reflected not only in the two stars’ sheer energy level, but in the ceaselessly inventive stagecraft on display in Ellie Heyman’s production."– Kenji Fujishima, Theater Mania
"A feast for the senses, Space Dogs insists on a type of electric, highly intense energy that forces you to question emotion beyond your reach. The dizzying height inherent in the race to space does so much to unlock what’s trapped at the emotional core." —Marcina Zaccaria, Theater Pizzazz
SPACE DOGS is an epic new musical that tells the mind-blowing true story of Laika and the Chief Designer — a stray dog and the top-secret Russian scientist who sent her to space during the Cold War. Written and performed by Van Hughes and Nick Blaemire, it 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.
