Not that I know of. I don't think it's very well suited to theatre. There have been productions in the past though so you never know.
Must cost a bomb to pay for all those animal costumes.

I saw a production at the West Yorkshire Playhouse last year - it was quite superb! The actors played the animals straight - they went around on all fours, copied animal mannerisms and punctuated their speeches with animal sounds; eventually, you forgot they were human and actually found the illusion sustained.
They also blended a lot of music into the production - all the actors appeared to be accomplished musicians, and the acting was good enough to sustain the illusion of a chap being horse, even when he was playing a trombone... it really added to the feel of the thing...
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
