Theatre Royal Nelson, 78 Rutherford Street, Nelson
Nelson Youth Theatre Company presents Dr Dolittle JR the Musical, 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 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. 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.
All of the characters we've come to love through the stories of Hugh Lofting are given new life in the delightful musical stage version, including his best friends Polynesia the parrot, Jip the dog and of course the mythical Pushmi-Pullyu!
