I got this from the Des Moines Civic Center today
"The Civic Center has just learned that the national tour of Doctor Dolittle is closing on Sunday, October 2.
As a result, the Civic Center will NOT be presenting Doctor Dolittle, as scheduled, October 18 – 23, 2005.
At this point in time, it is possible that Doctor Dolittle may be re-booked for a later date. If not, the Civic Center will replace this show in the Betts Broadway Series with a different production.
If we cannot find a suitable replacement, we will refund the Doctor Dolittle portion of your season ticket package or your purchase of single tickets.
We will send information to you as it becomes available.
We are sorry for the inconvenience, and we look forward to seeing you all at Cats and Little Shop of Horrors later this fall.
Thank you. "
