“I am delighted my friends in the UK are able to share the same enjoyment I felt when seeing my characters come to life in the beautiful and enchanting Broadway production of The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show.” – Eric Carle

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show has been adapted for the stage by director Jonathan Rockefeller. His production sees four master puppeteers weave their way through Eric Carle’s stories by bringing to life 75 magical puppets that recreate the wonderful and colourful world of the illustrations.
