Synopsis

Based on the stories of Hugh Lofting and the hit movie starring Eddie Murphy, the musical concerns the classic tale of a wacky but kind Doctor who can talk to animals. The show takes the audience on a journey from the small English village of Puddleby-in-the-Marsh to the far corners of the world. The story starts with Doctor Dolittle wrongly accused of murder and once pronounced innocent, continues with his search for the Great Pink Sea Snail, the oldest and wisest of the creatures on earth.
