Doctor Dolittle is the official cast album of the 1998 London stage musical Doctor Dolittle, composed by Leslie Bricusse, released by First Night Records the same year. It includes ensemble numbers, solo ballads, and transitional musical pieces, capturing the structural flow of the stage musical. Some musical sections were recorded in full even though they would be edited or re-staged during the show's run. No live audience is present on the recording, and all material was captured under controlled studio conditions for clarity and balance. The musical opened at the Hammersmith Apollo on 14 July 1998. Prior to the show's official debut, the original cast entered the studio to record the album, under the musical supervision and production of Mike Dixon. The recording was completed before musical director Michael England assumed conducting duties for the live production. The 1998 original London cast recording was supported by a BBC documentary and a major promotional campaign.
