Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, The Roald Dahl Story Company and Leeds Playhouse today announce casting for The Enormous Crocodile at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre.
This new musical extravaganza based on Roald Dahl’s wickedly funny The Enormous Crocodile, features a menagerie of inventive puppets, unforgettable toe-tapping tunes and mischievous audience interaction.
The cast features Malinda Parris (The Little Big Things; & Juliet) as The Enormous Crocodile, Audrey Brisson (Into the Woods; Amélie The Musical) as Roly Poly Bird, Laura Buhagiar (Seize the Cheese A New Musical) as Swing, Joanna Adaran (marking her professional stage debut) as Trunky, Nuwan Hugh Perera (The Lord of the Rings: A Musical Tale; Life of Pi) as Humpy, and Elise Zavou (Heathers; Fantastically Great Women Who Changed The World) as Muggle/Teacher.
This show has music by Ahmed Abdullahi Gallab and 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 mischievous puppets by co-director and puppetry designer Toby Olié, with set and costume design by Fly Davis.
The Enormous Crocodile musical was developed by Emily Lim, Ahmed Abdullahi Gallab, Suhayla El-Bushra, Tom Brady and The Roald Dahl Story Company and is part of a new slate of theatrical work from the Roald Dahl Story Company.
In 2023 a major new musical of The Witches, co- produced with the National Theatre, opened to critical acclaim and sell-out shows and a theatrical reading of Roald Dahl’s The Magic Finger, co-produced with the Unicorn Theatre, launched as a free online release for schools, families and young people. Plus, a spectacular large-scale Circus inspired by Roald Dahl’s stories, and featuring a range of beloved characters, is in development.
The Enormous Crocodile runs at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre from 17 May to 8 June 2024.
