| An Imaginative Tale Told with Dance, Music and Puppetry
Muttnik is a stray. She lives on the streets of Moscow, cold and hungry until one day she is captured. To her surprise she finds herself in a new home with food,, water and adventures better than dreams. She is living at the Russian Space Centre and is to become the first dog in space!
She learns to fly a rocket, to dance in zero gravity and...
"To Bodly Go Where No Dog Has Gone Before!"
An imaginative slant on what happened to Laika, the dog sent into space aboard the Soviet rocket Sputnik 2 in 1957.

A unique and fabulous show for young people. McCretton is a performer who entrances, but never patronises. This show is a must-have for all venues.

An absolute delight from start to finish. Niki's sense of humour and winning personality shine through. A rare treat for all the family.

Take Art! Live, Somerset
All of the children watching wanted to be in the show.
I would have booked her on the spot ... absolutely riveting.
Niki had the audience eating out of her hands. I loved this show.
The highlight for me was Muttnik, one I would definitely book.
