The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show returns for tour and summer run in London
The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show is wiggling back to the stage for a new tour.
The stage adaptation of Eric Carle’s picture book The Very Hungry Caterpillar will return for a five-month tour from July.
Opening at the Thameside Theatre, Grays on Tuesday 12 July, the tour includes a London summer run at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre from Tuesday 16 August to Sunday 4 September and a Festive Season at Curve Theatre, Leicester from Friday 16 to Saturday 31 December.
A theatrical recreation of Eric Carle’s beautifully imaginative stories, The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show has become a global sensation. Four master puppeteers weave their way through Eric Carle’s stories, bringing to life a menagerie of 75 enchanting puppets in a magical show that faithfully recreates the wonderfully colourful world of Carle’s illustrations.
The 2022 tour features four classic titles; Brown Bear, Brown Bear, 10 Little Rubber Ducks, The Very Lonely Firefly and, of course, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
The cast of actor-puppeteers includes Karyn Claydon, Katie Haygarth, Ben Murrell, Jonathan Norman, Amber-Rose Perry and Adam Ryan.
