Making its premier appearance at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is this colourful jukebox musical for kids and families of all ages.
August 1 – 9 at the Grand Theatre: Surgeons Hall, it’s the happiest show of the season!
Written by international bestselling children’s author, Kate O’Hearn, it’s filled with comedy, adventure, music, and heart–plus lots of interactions with our mischievous squirrels!
So, if you’re looking for something special to do with the whole family that will have you on your feet singing, dancing, and cheering, come along to the “Caterpillar and the Blackbird”. Here you’ll meet our young caterpillar searching for more meaning in her life than living on a branch and eating leaves, when a chance encounter with a rock’n’roll blackbird and his woodland friends will see all her dreams come true!
