You know the tale. But now it's much more, in a wildly inventive musical. A feast of wit and calamity with surprising new twists and turns.
A starving family, under duress, comes to a grim decision: the children must fend for themselves in the woods. It's only inevitable then — when a hungry Hansel and Gretel come upon a house made of sausages and cakes of all things, they can't stop themselves from gobbling up the curtains and door. Wolfing down windowboxes. Polishing off siding. Only to face you-know-who lying in wait inside.
What does it take to survive? These clever children work it out with indomitable spirit, pluck and faith in one another.
So follow the bread crumbs to the enchanting tale you've always loved. Now served up as a new musical you'll absolutely adore.
