What is The Enormous Crocodile about?
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.
Featuring a menagerie of mischievous puppets, rib-tickling rhymes and a leading man with a killer smile, the jungle awaits the bravest of children!

Brilliant entertainment for all of us - incredibly creative and engaging!
Amazing show, both for kids and adults! We all had a fantastic time. Our 18 mo was so excited by the music, the colors, the lively scene. Our 6 yo was thrilled by the story and the interactive bits, and laughed a lot. And the adults were amazed by the quality of the production and the ingenuity of the staging and costumes. Not to mention the beautiful background of regent’s park greenery.
Absolutely marvellous. I have enjoyed as much as my toddler. Highly recommended ??
Brilliant musical! Not only my 3yo son loved it but my husband and I were quite pleased with it! Characters are lovely made and the cast were very good and engaging. The environment at Regents Park open theatre was just perfect for this musical!!! A must go!
Probably the best theatre show for kids I’ve seen! I’d recommend this show to children and adults alike! All the actors were superb and the puppetry and music were so imaginative. A brilliant story brought to life with magnificent creativity! I was hooked from the first note!
This was brilliant! My 2 year old really enjoyed the show. It was not too long and very interactive. The actors were really great! We had an amazing experience.
Kids and I loved the performance ( aged 2.5yr, 4.5yr and 69yr!) So well performed. Lot of fun ...... would happily go again. Thank you a great day out for all
Excellent show. Talented actors and lots of fun
Fantastic family event, enjoyed by all ages. All the staff from ticketing, ushers, bar and waiting staff super friendly and smiley! Children especially enjoyed throwing the monkey nuts at the end of the show!
Roar-some!
I am positive the cookies sold this event for ages from 3 years old. As I would have not purchased he ticket, looking at it afterwards its saying from 4 years old and up. Sadly Son was very scared thinking he was going to be eaten by the crocodile and had to leave.
A wonderful show, We all enjoyed it so much and will visit again. Love the story.
