About this event
Eric Carle's beloved stories come to life!
CDP Kids presents
The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show
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 – Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? , Ten Little Rubber Ducks, and The Very Busy Spider. 📚
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!
