Eric Carle’s best-known work, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, has nibbled its way into the hearts of millions of children all over the world, and in 2019 celebrates its 50th Anniversary. Both my kids adored this book, it is such brilliant. Children can learn to count and read, and also they can learn about caterpillars turning into butterflies, We were delightfully invited to the press view at the brand new Troubadour White City Theatre that is just three minutes walk from the White City Tube. The theatre is very big and we also appreciated the large spare space for buggies and it’s totally step-free!
The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show is adapted for the stage by director Jonathan Rockefeller, whose production sees four master puppeteers weave their way through Eric Carle’s stories, bringing to life 75 magical puppets that faithfully recreate the wonderfully colourful world of Carle’s illustrations.

The show is beautifully performed with amazing puppets, all four stories captured both my 2yr and 4yr olds attention throughout it.
