"Talking animals... dazzling costumes... amazing sets... A REAL WINNER"

- The Stage

Brought to magical life by this country's brightest musical entertainer, the legendary Tommy Steele stars alongside a huge company of singers, dancers, and puppeteers in this hit musical.

Immortalised in the hugely popular film, Doctor Dolittle is a world-renowned veterinarian who speaks a wide array of animal languages. He sets off from his home in Puddleby-on-the-Marsh, England, in search of the Great Pink Sea Snail. Along the way, he and his friends meet such exotic creatures as the Pushme-Pullyu and the Giant Moon Moth. The Oscar Award-winning score includes the hits If I Could Talk To The Animals, I've Never Seen Anything Like It and My Friend The Doctor. With lavish settings and spectacular effects, Doctor Dolittle is the perfect treat for all the family!

Tommy Steele is the London Palladium's all time biggest musical star after sell-out seasons there, including Singing In the Rain, Hans Christian Andersen, and Scrooge. His Hollywood hits include The Happiest Millionaire, Finian's Rainbow and the acclaimed Half A Sixpence, which he performed in the West End and on Broadway.
