The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show, based on the best-selling children’s books by Eric Carle, returns to Brisbane this Easter school holiday, playing at QPAC from April 5 to 9, 2023.

One of the most read and famous children’s stories of all time, The Very Hungry Caterpillar emerges from the page and onto the stage in a masterful theatrical experience for children 18 months+ and their adults.

Created by Jonathan Rockefeller, this magical production features a menagerie of more than 75 puppets, including the star of the show - The Very Hungry Caterpillar - alongside three other Eric Carle stories: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, Ten Little Rubber Ducks, and The Very Busy Spider.

A delight for those just discovering Carle’s stories, and for the generations who grew up with his beloved books, this enchanting Australian-made show will excite, educate and entertain the whole family!
