The Very Hungry Caterpillar Christmas Show will play at MAST Mayflower Studios from 4 – 14 December 2024
Suitable for all ages, the show faithfully adapts four stories by author/illustrator Eric Carle: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, 10 Little Rubber Ducks, the magical Christmas story Dream Snow and, of course, the star of the show, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
The best-selling children’s book The Very Hungry Caterpillar has delighted generations of readers since it was first published in 1969 selling more than 48 million copies worldwide. Brown Bear, Brown Bear – now celebrating 50 years – has sold more than 18.2 million copies. The Very Hungry Caterpillar Christmas Show is a vibrant celebration of Eric Carle’s adored classics and the perfect way to introduce children to live theatre.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar Christmas Show stars Daisy Fitzgerald (Dick Whittington, Grease The Musical), Lottie Grogan (Disney’s Winnie The Pooh The Musical, Smurfs Save Spring: The Musical), Arthur Thorpe (Tales From Acorn Wood, Moonlight Supermarket) and Jenny Trapp (Tales From Acorn Wood, Dracula).
The late Eric Carle said it best: “I am happy the performances will be enjoyed by many and that the colourful characters will bring comfort and joy to all who see the stories that have been so carefully produced. It is uplifting to see such beautiful and cheerful works inspired by my characters! I hope my books – and this show – will inspire you and your imagination.”
