(Redirected from Dr. Dolittle (stage))
In 1998, the Jim Henson Company co-produced the London West End musical production of Doctor Dolittle, based on the 1965 movie. The majority of the Henson Company's involvement was in the creation of the nearly one hundred animatronic animals created for the show, including a five-foot tall snail, a seal, dog, monkey, horse, pig, and the most famous of the show, the Pushmi-pullyu. The show starred Philip Schofield.
Nigel Plaskitt served as animal movement director for the show. Polynesia was puppeteered by Wim Booth (and Sarah Burgess in a later tour) and voiced by Julie Andrews.
