The Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, The Roald Dahl Story Company and Leeds Playhouse have announced casting for the upcoming London run of the new musical based on The Enormous Crocodile.
The company includes: Joanna Adaran (marking her professional stage debut) as Trunky, Audrey Brisson (Into the Woods; Amélie The Musical) as Roly Poly Bird, Laura Buhagiar(Seize the Cheese A New Musical) as Swing, Malinda Parris (The Little Big Things; & Juliet) as The Enormous Crocodile, 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.
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.
This musical adaptation of Roald Dahl’s story features tunes 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 puppets by co-director and puppetry designer Toby Olié, with set and costume design by Fly Davis.
The Enormous Crocodile will begin performances at the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre later this month. To book tickets visit London Theatre Direct or London Box Office.
