About The Very Hungry Caterpillar Off-Broadway
The multi-award-winning show introduces us to a tiny caterpillar with a BIG appetite. We follow him as he eats through an array of different foods before he eventually becomes full, builds his cocoon, and emerges as a beautiful butterfly. The Very Hungry Caterpillar shares an educational story around the life cycle of a butterfly as well as a deeper narrative about growth and change. The performance includes faithful adaptations of Carle’s other fantastical stories, including The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse, Mister Seahorse and The Very Lonely Firefly.
