Why families love The Enormous Crocodile the Musical

The Enormous Crocodile the Musical works so well for families because it is short, funny, visual and easy for younger children to enjoy. With a 55-minute running time and no interval, it is a great choice for little theatre-goers who may not be ready for a longer West End show.

Families can also enjoy:

• A Roald Dahl story brought to life on stage
• Colourful puppets and jungle characters
• Toe-tapping songs and playful storytelling
• A shorter running time for younger children
• A family-friendly London theatre trip

The Enormous Crocodile the Musical is a mischievous family show based on Roald Dahl’s snappy book. The story follows the Enormous Crocodile as he searches for delicious little fingers and squidgy podgy knees, only to find that the other jungle creatures are ready to stand up to him.

With music by Ahmed Abdullahi Gallab, book and lyrics by Suhayla El-Bushra, and additional music and lyrics by Tom Brady, the show is developed and directed by Emily Lim. It also features a lively menagerie of puppets by co-director and puppetry designer Toby Olié.

It is a fun, accessible theatre choice for families who want a bright, silly and slightly cheeky musical adventure.
