 The classic tale of kindness to animals and animal kindnesses trots, crawls and flies onto the stage in a big Broadway-sized family musical. All of the characters (human and animal) we’ve come to love through the stories of Hugh Lofting and the magical movie musical are given new life in the stage version of Doctor Dolittle.

Tickets for Doctor Dolittle will be available to buy soon, with tickets available from just £8. Once on sale tickets can be purchased by visiting www.staffordgatehousetheatre.co.uk or by calling the Box Office on 01785 254653.
