Featuring a menagerie of 75 lovable puppets, the production faithfully adapts four stories by author/illustrator Eric Carle: Brown Bear, Brown Bear; 10 Little Rubber Ducks; The Very Busy Spider and, of course, the star of the show; The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Generations of readers have been delighted by The Very Hungry Caterpillar since it was first published in 1969. It has gone on to sell more than 48 million copies worldwide. Meanwhile, the enduringly popular Brown Bear, Brown Bear (which is now celebrating 50 years) has sold more than 18.2 million copies.

Following extended runs in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, this "colourful, engaging and charming" production (Huffington Post) returns.
