Specially created for children ages 3 – 8, our brand new version of this classic tale is the perfect introduction to live theatre.

Hansel and Gretel are lost in the enchanted forest with no breadcrumbs to follow home. Cold and tired, they stumble upon a cosy cottage made from delicious gingerbread and are invited inside… But this hideaway in the woods may not be as sweet as it seems.

Join Hansel and Gretel as they meet creatures from the forest, get into scrapes, meet a witch and find their way back home – they may even need your help along the way!

Full to the brim with music, magic and plenty of opportunities to join in, this 50 minute long adventure is a great festive treat for little ones and their grown-ups.
