Summary
Children's Fairytale Theater's full-length original musical of Hansel & Gretel. Two siblings lost in the woods stumble on a candy house and outwit the witch inside -- a story the company frames around bravery and loyalty. Costumed actors, songs, and staging make it a real theatre outing on the classroom screen.
Viewer safety
All ages
Classic fairy-tale peril: a witch means to cook the children, and there's an oven scene. It's gentle and stagey, but preview if your youngest ones spook easily.
