The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show in New York

This live stage adaptation brings Eric Carle's beloved 1969 picture book to life, following a tiny caterpillar as it eats through a colorful array of foods before transforming into a butterfly. The show captures the book's iconic collage art style and interactive elements, including the famous die-cut holes where the caterpillar "ate" through pages.

Families can expect a playful, educational experience that introduces numbers, days of the week, and the life cycle of a butterfly. The production stays true to the original story, from the caterpillar's Monday apple to its Saturday feast of chocolate cake, ice cream, and more, culminating in its metamorphosis into a large, multi-colored butterfly.

With over 55 million copies sold worldwide and translations in more than 70 languages, the book has become a childhood classic. This stage show offers a chance for new generations to experience the magic of Carle's story in a live, engaging format.
