NO DOGS ALLOWED! is the story of Iris, a bright 8-year-old, who lives "in a place called the Bronx, in the Kingdom of 3rd Avenue... in the Land of New York City," with her family and her dog El Exigente. One bright day, the family decides to take a trip to the Enchanted State Park and Iris is determined to bring her beloved El Exigente, even though at the park there are 'no dogs allowed'. With a cast of unique, charming and wonderfully funny characters, NO DOGS ALLOWED is a brilliant new musical adapted from Sonia Manzano's best-selling Children's book of the same name.
