"For my lunch today I would like… a nice juicy little child!"
Step into the wild and whimsical world of The Enormous Crocodile: The Musical - onstage in Chicago from January 29 to February 21, 2026.
Developed and directed by Emily Lim, this 60-minute musical adventure is perfect for ages 3 and up.
The Enormous Crocodile brings Roald Dahl's story roaring to life with puppets, music, and laughs - don’t miss this wickedly funny family show at Chicago’s Studebaker Theater.
The Enormous Crocodile is weaving his way through the jungle of Chicago 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’ll need a huge amount of courage to stop this greedy brute.
At the heart of the musical are eye-popping large-scale puppets, a rich, groove-filled score, heaps of mischievous audience interaction, and a finale that explodes into a full-on dance party.
