Rose Theatre, Kingston, London
He’s greedy, he’s grumptious, he’s horrid!
1st to 12th April 2026
Suitable for 3-100 years
The Enormous Crocodile is weaving his way through the jungle to Rose Theatre 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 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.
The Enormous Crocodile played at Theatre Royal Windsor, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre and The Lowry, and toured the US with performances in Minneapolis and Los Angeles in 2025.
