The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show

13 Dec 2022 to 23 Dec 2022

Created by Jonathan Rockefeller
Based on Eric Carle’s Books

“and – pop! – out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar.”

One of the most-read and famous children’s books of all time, The Very Hungry Caterpillar emerges off the page in a masterful theatrical experience for children 18 months+ and their adults.

Created by Jonathan Rockefeller, the production features a menagerie of over 75 magical puppets, including the star of the show – The Very Hungry Caterpillar – and an Australian cast who bring these beloved books to life on stage.

Alongside The Very Hungry Caterpillar, the show features three other Eric Carle stories, including Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

The team behind the Australian tours of The Gruffalo, Spot, and The 13, 26, 52, 78 & 91-Storey
Treehouses will excite, educate and entertain new readers and first-time theatre-goers, while those
who grew up with these books will delight in experiencing one of the most popular children’s books ever written. Don’t miss out!
