Four timeless stories brought to life in one delightful show!

The critically acclaimed production of The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show created by Jonathan Rockefeller features a menagerie of 75 lovable puppets. The production faithfully adapts four stories by author/illustrator Eric Carle; Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See; 10 Little Rubber Ducks; The Very Busy Spider and of course, the star of the show – The Very Hungry Caterpillar

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 What Do You See is now celebrating 50 years and has sold more than 18.2 million copies. 

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show is a vibrant celebration of Eric Carle’s adored classics and the perfect introduction to live theatre.
