The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show has been dazzling audiences around the globe for over 10 years, faithfully bringing Eric Carle’s timeless classics to the stage.

Created by Jonathan Rockefeller, the critically acclaimed show features a menagerie of over 75 magical larger-than-life puppets, including the star of the show –The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Alongside The Very Hungry Caterpillar, the show features three additional Eric Carle stories. Audiences will meet the colorful characters of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, travel the world with 10 Little Rubber Ducks and try to keep up with The Very Busy Spider. These beloved tales are brought to life by a talented cast of storytellers, sweeping original music, and stunning puppetry that is faithful to the Carle’s iconic artwork.

After 3,500 plus shows worldwide, we are thrilled to be bringing a new production to (Coventry). We are thrilled that so many children are experiencing the magic of theatre for the very first time – with The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

I am happy the performances are enjoyed by many and that the colorful 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.
