Thu 11/12/2009 9:16a | Good Morning America just showed clips and animal actors from "101 Dalmatians the Musical," a touring production starting in New York and will be coming to L.A., perhaps at the Pantages. The dogs were former strays that were rescued, sheltered, then later chosen to be trained for the show. Thought that was kinda cool. |

Thu 11/12/2009 9:28a | Here is the website: http://www.the101dalmatiansmus...how.html. Further research shows that, although it was advertised on Disney's ABC Good Morning America, this is not a Disney Stage Production. Here are the tour locations:
Detroit
Nov. 17-22
Austin,
Nov. 24-29
Dallas,
Dec. 1-20
Birmingham,
Jan. 12-17
Boston,
Dec. 23-27
Miami
, Dec. 30 - Jan. 3
And, there was some indication by a ticket agency that it may come to Pantages at a later date. |

The adults perform on stilts to give a larger than life appearance against the dog characters, seeing things from a dog's point of view (dogs played by both kid actors and live canines - dalmatians). Cool show. It IS on the tour schedule to play at the Pantages in Los Angeles. |

I imagined 'stilts' meant that they'd be pretty tall, but in the video it looks like they're maybe an extra 7 inches off the ground. Seems like it's not worth the chiropractor bills. |

The 3rd one shows the humans on the "stilts" next to the "dogs". Very odd. |
