'For my lunch today I would like... a nice juicy little child!'
The Enormous Crocodile is weaving his way through the jungle in search of delicious little fingers and squidgy podgy knees.
Only the other jungle creatures can foil his secret plans and clever tricks, but they’re going to have to find a large amount of courage to stop this greedy brute.
This new musical version of Roald Dahl’s picture book has tasty tunes by Ahmed Abdullahi Gallab and has 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 mischievous puppets by co-director and puppetry designer Toby Olié, with set and costume design by Fly Davis. The jungle awaits the bravest of children!
The Enormous Crocodile musical was developed by Emily Lim, Ahmed Abdullahi Gallab, Suhayla El-Bushra, Tom Brady and Roald Dahl Story Company.
A Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, Roald Dahl Story Company and Leeds Playhouse production.

Brilliant entertainment for all of us - incredibly creative and engaging!
Amazing show, both for kids and adults! We all had a fantastic time. Our 18 mo was so excited by the music, the colors, the lively scene. Our 6 yo was thrilled by the story and the interactive bits, and laughed a lot. And the adults were amazed by the quality of the production and the ingenuity of the staging and costumes. Not to mention the beautiful background of regent’s park greenery.
Absolutely marvellous. I have enjoyed as much as my toddler. Highly recommended ??
Brilliant musical! Not only my 3yo son loved it but my husband and I were quite pleased with it! Characters are lovely made and the cast were very good and engaging. The environment at Regents Park open theatre was just perfect for this musical!!! A must go!
Probably the best theatre show for kids I’ve seen! I’d recommend this show to children and adults alike! All the actors were superb and the puppetry and music were so imaginative. A brilliant story brought to life with magnificent creativity! I was hooked from the first note!
This was brilliant! My 2 year old really enjoyed the show. It was not too long and very interactive. The actors were really great! We had an amazing experience.
Kids and I loved the performance ( aged 2.5yr, 4.5yr and 69yr!) So well performed. Lot of fun ...... would happily go again. Thank you a great day out for all
Excellent show. Talented actors and lots of fun
Fantastic family event, enjoyed by all ages. All the staff from ticketing, ushers, bar and waiting staff super friendly and smiley! Children especially enjoyed throwing the monkey nuts at the end of the show!
Roar-some!
I am positive the cookies sold this event for ages from 3 years old. As I would have not purchased he ticket, looking at it afterwards its saying from 4 years old and up. Sadly Son was very scared thinking he was going to be eaten by the crocodile and had to leave.
A wonderful show, We all enjoyed it so much and will visit again. Love the story.
