Hi, I'm at the GR2 Theater and I'm about to see the Very Hungry Caterpillar
0:03
See you soon! The Very Hungry Caterpillar show was about four of Eric Carle's children's books
0:42
Those including Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? The Ten Little Ducklings, The Very Lonely Firefly, and The Very Hungry Caterpillar
0:54
And it all comes to life by actors and very cool lighting and tons of awesome puppets
1:02
and interaction with the audience. I've read The Very Hungry Caterpillar book before and no matter how many times I read
1:14
it, it always used to make me laugh. And there were little holes in the food that he ate in the book and I always used to put
1:22
my finger in the hole pretending like my finger was the caterpillar
1:27
My mom used to read them to me when I was little and so did my teachers at school and
1:33
I even heard them at story time. The puppets, you could see all the mechanics behind them even, but some didn't even show
1:48
that they had any mechanics to them. It was beautiful, it made my heart swell with joy and I really liked how creative it was
2:03
It's not just the stories, it's the way the stories are told. I've never found such inspiration in a show that you could ever put in it
2:15
I loved the puppets from The Very Hungry Caterpillar show. My favorite was the butterfly at the end, but the flamingo from The Ten Little Rubber
2:26
Ducks was a close second because I loved it because there were two people controlling
2:33
it and one was flapping its feet around and the other was controlling its head and he
2:40
was moving it like this. My favorite character was The Very Hungry Caterpillar because I loved how he kept on
2:50
eating and he was still hungry. I feel like that sometimes because I eat something and I still feel kind of hungry after
2:58
And I love how he moved and he was like so wiggly and I just love that
3:06
Well I have a lot of favorite puppets like the dolphin, the whale, the caterpillar and
3:13
I really like the fruit that they have the pop to tip
3:27
If I was Very Hungry Caterpillar and I got to have a Saturday feast, I would have broccoli
3:32
because it's my favorite food, french onion soup, french fries, sauerkraut, fresh mozzarella
3:42
cheese, a big meatball, and to top it all off, an ice cream sundae with whipped cream
3:52
sprinkles and a cherry on top. And maybe a little bit more broccoli too
3:58
Well I would have like, a lot of the foods that the caterpillar had sounds good like
4:03
pickles, chocolate cake, cupcake, lollipop, and cherry pie
4:13
It's delicious. If I had a Saturday feast like the caterpillar, I would eat rice, chicken, fries, and cotton
4:23
candy for dessert because I love cotton candy. Yes, I think other kids would love going to the Very Hungry Caterpillar show, especially
4:34
kids 5 and under because it's sort of like going to the most amazing story time you could
4:41
ever imagine. I think kids would love the Very Hungry Caterpillar because it's like their favorite book coming
4:48
to life and I love how it was so creative. You can see the Very Hungry Caterpillar show in New York City at the DR2 Theater and on
5:00
tour later this year. Check back later for more from your Broadway World Kid Critics

See you next time, bye
