Go See The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show

Admittedly, I was skeptical when I heard about this puppetshow because it sounded like a gimmick to make an incredibly charming children’s book into a 60 minute charade on 42nd Street…But then we took our daughter, 1.5 y.o., and our friends came with their daughter (1 y.o.) ...and let me tell you, the girls ate this show up. We were last row, back corner, and we could see everything perfectly because the theater is like going to a fun-size Broadway show. The spectacle revealed an entirely new world to our kiddos, and I loved the earnest cast and Eric Carle inspired set design. Way less overwhelming than I thought it’d be, and the 45-60 min timing was exactly what all of us could handle.
