CDP Kids presents The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show Created by Jonathan Rockefeller
Based on Eric Carles Books "and pop out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar." One of the most read and famous childrens books of all time, The Very Hungry Caterpillar emerges off the page in a masterful theatrical experience for children 18 months+ and their adults.
Created by Jonathan Rockefeller, the production features a menagerie of over 75 magical puppets, including the star of the show The Very Hungry Caterpillar and an Australian cast who bring these beloved books to life on stage.
Alongside The Very Hungry Caterpillar, the show features three other Eric Carle stories Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, Ten Little Rubber Ducks, and The Very Busy Spider

Due to the nature of live performance, trying to find your way to your seat once a show has started can disrupt both the audience and the performers on stage. Therefore, most performances have a lockout period which restricts anybody from entering the auditorium until a suitable break in the performance.
Packaged foods and cold drinks purchased at any of our theatre bars can be taken into the auditorium during the performance.
Hot drinks, glass and unpackaged foods will not be admitted into the auditorium.
No, unfortunately not. Therefore we recommend that patrons do not bring bags larger than a regular sized handbag or small backpack to the theatre.
