The Enormous Crocodile - Croc1

The Enormous Crocodile Makes Its U.S. Debut at CTC

Posted on June 6, 2025

He’s greedy, he’s grumptious, he’s horrid…and he’s coming to CTC in October 2025! The Enormous Crocodile is weaving his way through the jungle with his tummy rumbling…  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. From Trunky the Elephant to Muggle-Wump the Monkey, get to know the menagerie of creative puppets in the U.S premiere of this smash U.K. hit production. You’ll go from the jungle into outer space and back again, just in time for a wild dance party!

From London to Minneapolis: The Creative Minds Behind The Enormous Crocodile

“We can’t wait for our greedy Croc to have its USA premiere at Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis this year. It’s been so special seeing how the story and songs have landed with our audiences in the UK to date and we’re so glad we get to bring it all the way to America.” -Emily Lim, director

“The Enormous Crocodile has been one of the most enjoyable and lively shows to create. So to continue sharing its mischievous glee and playful puppets with audiences in Minneapolis is an absolute thrill.” -Toby Olié, co-director and puppetry designer
