The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been dazzling audiences around the globe for over seven years, faithfully bringing to the stage Eric Carle’s timeless classics.
Created by Jonathan Rockefeller, this production of the critically acclaimed show features a menagerie of over 75 magical puppets.
The production faithfully adapts four stories by author/illustrator Eric Carle: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, 10 Little Rubber Ducks, The Very Busy Spider and of course, the star of the show – The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
The best-selling children’s book The Very Hungry Caterpillar has delighted generations of readers since it was first published in 1969 selling more than 48 million copies worldwide. Brown Bear, Brown Bear – now celebrating 50 years – has sold more than 18.2 million copies.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a vibrant celebration of Eric Carle’s adored classics and the perfect way to introduce children to live theatre. The late Eric Carle said it best: I am happy the performances will be enjoyed by many and that the colourful characters will bring comfort and joy to all who see the stories that have been so carefully produced. It is uplifting to see such beautiful and cheerful works inspired by my characters! I hope my books-and this show-will inspire you and your imagination.
