The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show will return to New York City for the holidays, performing for three days only at Town Hall from December 27 to December 28, 2018.

A theatrical re-creation of Eric Carle's imaginative stories, The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show was created by Jonathan Rockefeller and was nominated for a Drama Desk and Off-Broadway Alliance Award. The production features a menagerie of puppets that take the stage during a magical 60-minute show that faithfully adapts four of Carle's books. This new edition of The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show includes Brown Bear, Brown Bear which recently celebrated its 50th Anniversary, 10 Little Rubber Ducks, The Very Lonely Firefly and, of course, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show has played around the world, including sold-out shows in Australia, the UK (including a run on the West End), Dubai, New Zealand, San Francisco, Dallas, and Oregon.
