When I was a child, the Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile stories were favorites of mine, and I adored reading them to my own children when they were young. My kids also loved catching Lyle Finds His Mother, on stage at Lifeline back then. I'm so excited a new generation of littles will discover the joys of Lifeline's Lyle productions. Their excellent KidSeries has been a favorite of ours for decades and we're elated to partner with them once again, on a ticket giveaway for our readers. Enter below for your chance to win, and introduce your littles to the joys of theatre arts.
Lifeline Theatre’s KidSeries presents Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, based on the children’s book by Bernard Waber, with adaptation by Lifeline Theatre ensemble member Christina Calvit, music and lyrics by George Howe, and directed by Lifeline Theatre ensemble member Amanda Link. While the Primm family is busily moving into their new home on East 88th Street, they are shocked to discover a crocodile in their bathtub! His name is Lyle, he performs tricks, and, oh, he only eats Turkish caviar. The Primm’s are quick to welcome Lyle into the family, but not everyone is so thrilled about a crocodile living on the block. Discover the meaning of family in this musical based off the beloved classic by Bernard Waber.
