Hansel and Gretel

Some terrific songs and a truly funny script make this version of Hansel and Gretel a real treat. The plot follows the traditional story to the point where the kids get lost in the woods, but the gingerbread house they discover belongs to a Hollywood Wicked Witch and her bumbling servant, Fritz. While the witch is still very interested in having 'people over for dinner' she is also very, very funny. We've heard nothing but rave reviews about this delightful show, and the music is great!

CAST: 3 males, 3 females, 8 m/f with village kids. The cast can be expanded simply by adding more village children. If desired, one actress can play both the Stepmother and the Witch.

PRODUCTION: 1 Act. Sets can be realistic or suggestive. Action takes place on the road to the village, interior and exterior of Hansel's & Gretel's house, deep in the darkest part of the forest, and the exterior and interior of the Witch's house.
