See “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” through a new lens as the beloved book is turned into an enchanting show with over 75 magical puppets! Tickets are now available to this wonderful family experience which will take place at The Duke on 42nd Street at NEW 42 Studios!
Eric Carle’s classic story follows one very hungry caterpillar as he eats a variety of food before becoming a butterfly. The story teaches children about a butterfly’s life cycle but also incorporates counting, days of the week and food.
Alongside The Very Hungry Caterpillar, the show features three other Eric Carle stories, with two that have not been seen in NYC since 2016. Audiences learn to create with the colorful characters of The Artist Who Painted the Blue Horse; explore the seas with Mister Seahorse; and help The Very Lonely Firefly find his friends. These beloved tales and their messages of community, self-expression, and the power of creativity are brought to life by a captivating cast of storytellers, sweeping original music, and stunning puppetry.
The show is presented by Rockefeller Studios, the producers and creators of “Sesame Street the Musical,” “Disney’s Winnie The Pooh” and other family favorites. This show is happening at The Duke on 42nd Street at New 42 Studios right in Midtown (229 West 42nd Street between 7th & 8th Avenues).
There are a variety of ticket options available including VIP admission which secures the best views and seats and a photo op with The Hungry Caterpillar himself after the show! It’s the perfect fun family outing!
“The Very Hungry Caterpillar” has stood the test of time since it was first published in the 1960s and has sold tens of millions of copies worldwide and has been translated into over 50 languages! And now, you can experience it in a whole new way.
