The Enormous Crocodile

The Enormous Crocodile description

The Enormous Crocodile is all about fun, friendship, and standing up to bullies.

Help! It's a crocodile... and it's absolutely ENORMOUS! Your little ones will adore this brilliant production starring a huge beast searching the jungle for a nice, juicy little child to eat. Scary in a cool way, it's a thrill a minute for every child who loves a great adventure.

The story? The Enormous Crocodile is wandering around in a deep green, lush jungle on the hunt for tasty children. He's a big fan of their delicious fingers and satisfyingly podgy knees. Who will stop him? His fellow jungle creatures might be able to foil his secret plans and reveal his clever tricks, but it's going to take bravery and courage. Will they succeed?

This is a thrilling musical version of Roald Dahl's beloved children's picture book, full of mischief and spiced up with songs by Ahmed Abdullahi Gallab, known and loved for his gorgeous music played under the name of Sinkane. The award-winning creative team also includes Suhayla El-Bushra (The Ramayana, Hollyoaks), who adapted the original story to create book and lyrics, with additional music and lyrics from Tom Brady, who worked on Romeo and Juliet and The Lord of the Rings. The show is developed and directed by Emily Lim (Another Fine Mess), with co-direction and puppet design by Toby Olié (Life of Pi, Pinocchio) and puppetry co-design and supervision from Daisy Beattie (Ocean at the End of the Lane). Plus, there's awesome set and costume design from Fly Davis (Caroline, or Change, Standing at the Sky's Edge) to fire up everyone's imagination.

The Enormous Crocodile tickets make an inspiring introduction to live theatre, huge fun for the kids, and just as much of a giggle for the grown-ups. Prepare for magic!
