Dr. Dolittle, a Musical for Everyone  |
| Show your kids how to have fun outside of DVDs, video games and interactive toys. Head to the Fox Theatre for Dr. Dolittle the musical on Thursday, May 25. Dr. Dolittle is a glorious fairytale that makes an effective connection between children and animals. Ann Hould-Ward (The Beauty and the Beast, Into the Woods) designed costumes that actually capture the souls of the animals. Based on the original books' (by Hugh Lofting) illustrations, Ward created different styles of puppetry to imitate the drawings. Actors playing fully realized animals, hand puppets, marionettes and enormous flying animals give the theatre a magical touch. Click here for more information |
