Based on the world-famous picture books by Eric Carle, The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show brings these beloved stories to life on stage. Originally created by Rockefeller Productions for the Sydney Festival in 2015, the production uses beautifully crafted puppets and imaginative staging to transform the vivid colors and gentle spirit of Carle’s books into a magical theatrical experience.

Since its premiere, the show has toured more than 20 countries and delighted millions of children worldwide, becoming one of the most popular family theater productions across the globe.

Celebrating the 57th anniversary of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, first published in 1969, this special version invites audiences on a journey through four colorful story worlds. Alongside The Very Hungry Caterpillar, the performance also features three classic tales: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, 10 Little Rubber Ducks, and The Very Busy Spider. With 75 charming large-scale puppets, original music, and thoughtful stage design, the beloved picture books come alive in an entirely new form.

This production is more than a faithful adaptation — it is a joyful feast for the eyes and the heart. Through puppetry, music, color, and movement, audiences of all ages and cultural backgrounds can feel the warmth, imagination, and life energy of Eric Carle’s stories. Whether these books are childhood favorites or brand-new discoveries, once inside the theater, everyone is invited to see the world with a child’s sense of wonder — guided by the little caterpillar that represents growth, transformation, and hope.
