60-Minute Version
The famous doctor from literature and film lights up the stage in this magical tale of adventure, unlikely friendships and animal communication.

The classic tale of kindness to animals trots, crawls and flies onto the stage in Doctor Dolittle JR. All of the characters we've come to love through the stories of Hugh Lofting and the magical movie musical are given new life in the stage version.

The musical tells the classic tale of a wacky, but kind, doctor who can talk to animals, taking the audience on a journey from the small English village of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh to the far corners of the world. When Doctor Dolittle attempts to help a seal named Sophie, he’s wrongly accused of murder and stands trial before General Bellowes. Once pronounced innocent, Dolittle is free to continue with his search for the Great Pink Sea Snail — the oldest and wisest of the creatures on earth.

Doctor Dolittle JR. provides directors the wonderful flexibility of casting performers of all ages and types, including a large ensemble that calls for actors to portray talking animals.

Questions & Answers

Who is in which scene?
Hi, I am preparing to direct Dr.Dolittle Jr. and I am just curious if anyone has insight to if it is intended that some of the core animals (Polynesia, Jip, Chee Chee) are in the circus & court room scenes? Also curious if the Circus Folk are in Court Room or not, Mr. Blossom is referred to but it could also be just written in the note that Bellows reads. Thanks for any guidance.

Answer this Question
pushmi-pullyu dance in Dr Dolittle
HI - Could you offer some guidance on the concept behind the pushmi pullyu dance suggested in the choreography video? The show calls for an animal with 2 heads and one body. The dance on the video has 2 people dancing as a couple, separating completely as well as turning in place. What kind of costume is envisioned to make this work for this character? There is no commentary on the video that might shed light on this as there are with the other 2 numbers.
