Commentaires : With clever animatronic puppets from the Jim Henson studio, and a flying moth over the auditorium, this £4 million production was a satisfactory adaptation of the Rex Harrison/Anthony Newley film version, and provided ideal family entertainment for the best part of a year’s run.
Presse : CHARLES SPENCER of THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says "It is a warm and winning family show, and having expected to like Dolittle very little, I actually enjoyed it quite a lottle."

MICHAEL COVENEY of THE DAILY MAIL says "This may look like a low-rent Lion King, but it has its own wacky, very English charm."

DAVID BENEDICT of THE INDEPENDENT says, "If you have got kids - grab them and go."

MICHAEL BILLINGTON of THE GUARDIAN says, "Don't go expecting Chicago or Pal Joey. But, on its own terms, Doctor Dolittle is a wholly delightful family musical: ecologically sound, visually ravishing and genuinely charming."

MAX BELL of THE EVENING STANDARD says, "Animal magic makes the Doctor a winner."

ROBERT GORE-LANGTON of THE DAILY EXPRESS was not overly exited about the show saying; " There's lashings of special effects plus an impressive airborne finale. It doesn't really deserve it, but I've no doubt this show will become this summer's unmissable family outing."
