In addition to a new block to tickets, The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show also announces the dates for its upcoming Autism Friendly shows (Friday, July 8 & September 9 at 11am); and Spanish Language shows (Saturday, August 13 & October 8 at 2pm).

"We are thrilled that our show was so well-received by the critics and audiences alike. I am excited to be able to add a new block of tickets in a larger theatre this June to accommodate the overwhelming response. When we began our journey in New York City we wanted to make sure that our show would be as accessible as possible, which is why we are offering more Autism Friendly and Spanish Language performances this summer. For many young people who saw The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show, this was their very first theatrical experience, and we could not be prouder of that." Producer/Creator Jonathan Rockefeller
