Children's Musical

DOCTOR DOLITTLE JR.
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse

The larger-than-life Doctor Dolittle – who can talk to animals – takes you on a fantastical journey from the small English port town of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh to the farthest corners of the earth in this stage adaptation of the Oscar-winning 1967 film. With both his human and animal friends (including Polynesia the macaw, Sophie the seal, and the Pushme-Pullyou), he embarks on an expedition to find the Great Pink Sea Snail, who holds the secret to happiness and making the world a better place for all. They face incredible trials and tribulations along the way, but in the end, the good doctor teaches us not only how to talk to the animals, but to listen to them, too. Come treat your family to this Junior edition of the all-time classic.
