is a wonderfully wacky tale is based on Hugh Lofting's popular children's books written from 1920 to 1952.It is Victorian England where we discover Doctor Dolittle living in the fictional town of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh.Doctor Dolittle has abandoned his human medical practice to work with animals.
His parrot, Polynesia, teaches him 498 different animal languages and he sets off to travel the world to learn more about exotic places, such as the mysterious Sea Star Island and unusual animals like the dancing two-headed Pushmi-Pullyu, the Great Pink Sea Snail which is the oldest and wisest of all the creatures on earth.
Featuring vibrant costumes, sensational choreography and memorable songs such as Talk to the Animals', 'I've Never Seen Anything Like It' and 'My Friend the Doctor', theatregoers can expect a delightful singing, dancing and physical comedy spectacular!Director, Aria Stevenson says "The Adelaide Theatre Academy's senior students are creating some theatrical magic in the rehearsal room. We can hardly wait to bring this wonderful story and all these lovely animals to life for our audiences. It is a truly joyful production and the whole family will feel like they're really singing and dancing with the animals."
