DOCTOR DOLITTLE TO STAGE A COMEBACK
YOU may have enjoyed plenty of musicals but this one? You’ve never seen anything like it!
Doctor Dolittle is returning to the stage in a UK tour of Leslie Bricusse’s acclaimed family musical.
From November 9, audiences can join the eccentric Doctor, his human companions and his exotic menagerie on an extraordinary adventure to find the giant pink sea snail.
With help from the Pushmi-Pullyu and his trusty sidekick Polynesia the Parrot, played by Vicky Entwistle (Coronation Street), the largerthan-life Doctor Dolittle teaches us not only to talk to the animals but to listen to them too! Based on the classic 1967 film with Rex Harrison, the new stage show stars Mark Williams (The Fast Show, Harry Potter) as the eponymous Doc.
Joining him on his exciting journey are Adèle Anderson (Fascinating Aïda) as Lady Bellowes, and Brian Capron (Coronation Street) playing both the vivacious Albert Blossom and the mighty Straight Arrow.
The exciting musical adventure is from Music & Lyrics Limited, who also produced Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Addams Family and promises stunning puppetry and favourite songs, including the Oscar-winning Talk To The Animals. It’s part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the original film, and will support the World Wide Fund for Nature with bucket collections.
