The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show is returning to The Lowry this May with a menagerie of 75 ‘lovable’ puppets.

The show will feature at The Lowry this summer half term from Tuesday May 28 until Saturday June 1.

Eric Carle’s imaginative stories are transformed from page to stage during a 50-minute show that faithfully adapts four of Eric Carle’s beloved books; Brown Bear, Brown Bear, 10 Little Rubber Ducks, the newly added Dream Snow and, of course, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar has delighted generations of readers since it was first published in 1969. More than 48 million copies of the book were sold worldwide.

Created by Jonathan Rockefeller, the critically acclaimed The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show has performed over 2,000 shows worldwide including sold-out shows in Australia, New York, United Kingdom, Dubai, New Zealand, Canada, Belgium, Luxemburg and the Netherlands.

Jonathan Rockefeller said: “The response to The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show has been incredible and has exceeded our expectations. We are thrilled that so many children are experiencing the magic of theatre for the very first time – with a character they all grew up with.”

The Lowry said they are “thrilled to welcome the show back to Salford for the summer half-term.”
