Salford families are set to be entertained as Roald Dahl’s The Enormous Crocodile The Musical comes to the Lowry this Christmas.
The Roald Dahl Story Company’s wickedly funny family musical have unveiled that it will play at the Salford theatre.
The show will open on the Lowry’s Lyric stage on Tuesday 9 December 2025, where it will play daytime performances until Sunday 4 January 2026.
The production of Roald Dahl’s snappy book will follow an enormous crocodile as weaves through the jungle “in search of delicious little fingers and squidgy podgy knees.”
However, the large reptile will be challenged by the other jungle creatures who aim to foil his secret plans and clever tricks.
But the jungle animals must find a large amount of courage to stop this greedy brute.
The show will be directed by Emily Lim and the production will feature a collection of puppets by co-director and puppetry designer Toby Olié.
Throughout the performance, audiences will be played songs by Ahmed Abdullahi Gallab, Suhayla El-Bushra, and additional music and lyrics by Tom Brady.
Throughout the duration of The Enormous Crocodile The Musical, guests will also be able to see the newly announced new free family exhibition Quentin Blake and Me.
The experience will feature some of the most beloved characters in children’s literature from the BFG to Matilda and The Enormous Crocodile himself.
The celebration of Quentin Blake’s exhibition will coincide as a part of the Lowry’s 25th anniversary programme, featuring world-class shows and exhibitions to fill the theatres and galleries.
Tickets to the family Christmas show will go on sale on Friday 7 March 2025 at 10am – with information and tickets to the show being found here.
