What is the show about?
‘For my lunch today I would like… a nice juicy little child!’
The Enormous Crocodile by Roald Dahl is about a greedy crocodile who sets off on a mission to eat a child. Along the way, he uses clever tricks to try to catch one, but other animals in the jungle try to stop him. It's a fun and mischievous story full of surprises and Dahl's signature humour.
The Creative Team:
This mischievous musical based on Roald Dahl’s snappy book has toe-tapping tunes by Ahmed Abdullahi Gallab, a rib-tickling book and lyrics by Suhayla El-Bushra, and additional music and lyrics by Tom Brady. Developed and directed by Emily Lim, it features a menagerie of puppets by co-director and puppetry designer Toby Olié, with set and costume design by Fly Davis and puppetry co-designed and supervised by Daisy Beattie.
With the involvement of The Roald Dahl Story Company, the show was originally co-produced with Regent's Park Open Air Theatre and Leeds Playhouse.
