Created specifically for our neighborhood, by our neighbors, Dick Rivington & The Cat is a wild, outrageous, laugh-out-loud celebration for the entire family. Everyone can relate to Dick’s struggles, and through cheering the hero and booing the villain we can all make the world a happier place.
Dick Rivington & The Cat celebrates the resilience, open-mindedness and beauty of the Lower East Side in a rags-to-riches story of a young immigrant and his feline friend who must overcome enormous hardships to make their dreams come true. Dick Rivington & The Cat is full of great music, 80’s nostalgia, an underwater mermaid extravaganza, community pride, the sheer joy of silly jokes and….Pizza Rat!
