See Roald Dahl's The Enormous Crocodile at Studebaker Theater. Hailed as "a perfect introduction to theatre for any child” (Theatre & Tonic), this mischievous musical based on the Roald Dahl classic follows the enormous crocodile on his search for delicious little fingers and squidgy podgy knees. Only the other jungle animals can stop him but they'll need to gather up all of their courage to foil his secret plans and clever tricks.
Get Roald Dahl's The Enormous Crocodile tickets in Chicago and prepare for "a joyful piece of family theatre which fizzes with invention and charm” (BroadwayWorld). Developed and directed by Emily Lim, the show features a menagerie of puppets by co-director and puppetry designer Toby Olié. This "fast-moving production with witty songs, clever staging, and a colorful set" (Spotlight on Lake) is perfect for audiences of all ages.
1 hr. No Intermission.
