The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show will tour the United States after playing Toronto's Al Green Theatre this summer, July 21-September 30. Currently, the production is playing New York City's DR2 Theatre through May 20. Locations and dates for the United States tour will be announced at a later time.

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, 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.
