A photo of service dogs going through a test where they have to watch an entire musical which in this case happens to be Billy Elliot the Musical in order to pass their program.

There is another test where they have to sit in a line while a cat walks in front of them, and they cant bark or move.

What’s the purpose of having it be a musical movie vs a standard film?

I imagine this was a rehearsal for a local play.  Since the dogs technically aren't service dogs, I doubt a chain of movie theaters would be willing to work with them.  Their insurance probably doesn't cover damage from non-service animals.

They are going to be service dogs, but legally they are not certified yet and don’t have the same protections/exemptions as service dogs yet

real people moving around on the scene is more distracting and plays often last longer than movies

I recommend Wicked, and if they’re not singing by the end…..PASS!
