I wonder if this tour will have all the animatronic animals that the Philip Schofield production had many years ago. I rather enjoyed that show.
Maybe they should hold off a year or 2. Robert Downey Jr goes into filming a new Dr Dolittle movie in January next year. It could have been a nice tie in.

There's some great songs in Doctor Dolittle and I quite liked the Tommy Steele tour about a decade ago. Although I think they should go with someone much younger than Steele so the relationship with the love interest doesn't seem as odd (which I think was the reason they originally got Schofield).

I saw Jason Manford on a tour try-out on Friday and asked if he had any more shows coming up, he mentioned they were trying to arrange Dr Doolittle :-) Jason Manford seems like a good name and imagine would be quite good in the role, although he doesn't seem to be good at keeping his upcoming MT projects a secret as I remember someone on here saying the same thing about him doing Chitty long before it was announced! |

To be honest I can remember very little about it but I feel like there was a Chitty-esque part where the car flew. Is that right or am I imagining it?! |

The Schofield version didn't have a flying car. At Hammersmith, He flew either on or off stage on the giant moon moth. May be it flew to the stage from the roof and he flew back off the stage, up and out of sight.

Found this documentary on the original London production for those who fancy a bit of nostalgia - it looked like a fantastic production! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zOthXlgWYUI only saw the Tommy Steele tour 10 years ago, but I've started listening to the OLC recording recently and love it! |
