When the Primm family moves into their apartment they find a crocodile in their bathtub, and nobody knows quite what to do. But his singing and dancing soon convince them that Lyle is a perfect addition and is here to stay! Audiences of all ages will be reminded not to judge people (or crocodiles) and to love one another as they are. A tap-dancing, high-energy holiday spectacular for all families!
Recommended for Pre-Kindergarten and up. Children under the age of 3 (including sleeping babies) are not allowed in the theater.
