The Passion of the Labradoodle
DADDY DOODLE is a dark musical comedy about Wally Conron, the trailblazing Australian guide dog trainer who created the world's first labradoodle. Bred to help a blind woman whose husband had terrible allergies, Sultan the service pup became an international sensation and challenged centuries-old prejudice against mixed breeds. However, the curly-haired canine also unknowingly sparked a phenomenon that would become Wally's waking nightmare: the epoch of "designer dogs". A musical about capitalism, playing God, and opening up Pandora's BarkBox, DADDY DOODLE is LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS meets BEST IN SHOW.

Next Steps:
I am only a few scenes and songs into writing, and I don't know exactly what the show *is* yet, but I know that once it's done, I'd benefit from hearing it out loud to see if it has legs; additionally, even before that, I might benefit from some dramaturgical support. The next step if those go smoothly would be to try something on its feet with a director since I imagine the piece being very light on set and heavy on blocking/choreographic storytelling.
