The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show has been charming audiences around the world for over seven years, faithfully adapting the work of author and illustrator Eric Carle. Using a vibrant menagerie of over 75 puppets, the production captures the bold colours and simple storytelling that have made the books a staple of childhood. The show brings together four beloved tales, including Brown Bear, Brown Bear, 10 Little Rubber Ducks, Dream Snow and, of course, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

First published in 1969, The Very Hungry Caterpillar has sold tens of millions of copies worldwide and remains one of the most recognisable children’s books ever created. .

Created by Jonathan Rockefeller, with UK Associate Direction by Sophie Hirst, the show is designed for audiences of all ages.
