THE ENORMOUS CROCODILE announced

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.

Suhayla El-Bushra has written book and co-lyrics for The Roald Dahl Story Company’s new family musical, THE ENORMOUS CROCODILE. Co-produced with Leeds Playhouse and Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, The Enormous Crocodile premieres in Leeds from 2 December 2023 to 6 January 2024, before heading to Regent’s Park for summer 2024.

Working with Suhayla, it will feature a score by composer Ahmed Abdullahi Gallab (who performs under the band name Sinkane), and additional music and lyrics from Tom Brady.

Directed by Emily Lim, the show will include "a menagerie of mischievous puppets" by leading designer Toby Olié (who also worked on 101 Dalmatians at the Open Air Theatre and who also co-directs). Set and costume design is by Fly Davis.
