On Sunday, February 7, 2016 The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show will celebrate its U.S. premiere at the 47th Street Theatre in New York City and will have an initial run through March 27, 2016.
Jonathan Rockefeller’s critically acclaimed production of The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show features a menagerie of 75 enchanting puppets during a magical 60-minute show that faithfully adapts four of Eric Carle’s beloved books for the stage: The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse, Mister Seahorse, The Very Lonely Firefly and, of course, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
"It is uplifting to see such beautiful and cheerful works inspired by my characters!" says Eric Carle, the famous children’s author and illustrator. "I hope my books - and this show - will inspire you and your imagination.” Carle has delighted three generations of readers with his books featuring his distinctive collage art and iconic characters. The Very Hungry Caterpillar was first published in 1969, has sold more than 41 million copies worldwide.
