Roald Dahl’s The Enormous Crocodile will return to Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre following its hit season in 2024.
‘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.
The musical based on Dahl’s book has music by Ahmed Abdullahi Gallab, book and lyrics by Suhayla El-Bushra and additional music and lyrics by Tom Brady. 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.
The Enormous Crocodile musical was developed by Emily Lim, Ahmed Abdullahi Gallab, Suhayla El-Bushra, Tom Brady and The Roald Dahl Story Company, and originally co-produced with Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre and Leeds Playhouse.
The show will open at Windsor Theatre Royal this summer before running at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre from August 15 – September 7.
