Created by Jonathan Rockefeller, the critically acclaimed show features a menagerie of over 75 magical and larger-than-life puppets, including the star of the show – The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Alongside The Very Hungry Caterpillar, audiences will meet the colourful characters of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, travel the world with 10 Little Rubber Ducks and celebrate the spirit of the season with Dream Snow. These beloved tales are brought to life by a captivating cast of storytellers, sweeping original music, breathtaking puppetry and maybe a special guest or two.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Christmas Show is the only holiday show made for the whole family – perfect for audiences from 6 months and up. The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show family of productions have been enchanting audiences for more than a decade in over 20 countries and performed to 3 million children and counting!

We invite you and your loved ones to spend the holidays at the show The New York Times calls ‘bedazzling’ and that Mommy Poppins lauds as ‘colourful, artsy and will hold your kid in awe for 60+ solid minutes.’
