You’ve never seen anything like it! Doctor Dolittle returns to the stage in Leslie Bricusse’s acclaimed family musical.
Based on the popular 1967 film with Rex Harrison, this new stage version is brought to you from the producers of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and promises stunning visual puppetry and fun for all the family.

Join the eccentric Doctor, his human companions and his exotic menagerie of animal friends on an extraordinary adventure to find the Giant Pink Sea Snail, that holds the secret of life and making the world a happier place. With help from the Pushmi-Pullyu and his trusty sidekick Polynesia the parrot, the larger-than-life Doctor Dolittle teaches us not only to talk to the animals but to listen to them as well!
Joining Doctor Dolittle on his exciting journey is the hilarious Vicky Entwistle (Coronation Street, Ackley Bridge, Les Misérables) as his trusty side-kick Polynesia with more star casting to be announced!
Book, Music and Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse. Based on the Doctor Dolittle stories by Hugh Lofting and the Twentieth Century Fox Film. Performed by arrangement with Music Theatre International (Europe) Ltd.
