Over Enorme Krokodil
About The Enormous Crocodile
The Enormous Crocodile is a musical at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre in London, based on Roald Dahl's children's book of the same name. Directed by Olivier Award-winner Emily Lim, the production adapts Dahl's tale of a cunning crocodile who devises a series of schemes to catch and eat children, only to be foiled at every turn by the other jungle animals. The show features original songs, puppetry, and a cast of named characters including Trunky the Elephant and Humpy-Rumpy the Hippopotamus.
The production is a limited-run family musical, drawing on the slapstick humour and moral clarity that characterise Dahl's storytelling. The creative team has a background in children's theatre, and the staging has been noted for its inventive use of jungle sets and physical comedy.
What to expect
Audiences follow the Enormous Crocodile as he hatches trick after trick in pursuit of his feast, with the jungle animals rallying to stop him. The show combines live puppetry, original songs, and broad physical comedy aimed at younger audiences while keeping the wit accessible to adults. The narrative moves quickly through a series of set-piece confrontations, each involving a different animal character from Dahl's book.
Tickets are available across a range of seating tiers at the Lyric Hammersmith, with performances scheduled across the limited run. The production is suited to families with children, and the running time is designed to hold the attention of younger theatregoers.
