Description

Hansel & Gretel are the children of the local Woodcutter and the family are very poor. The Woodcutter’s new wife – who is a classically trained pianist, you know (told you there was some extra spin!), thinks there are too many mouths to feed and her stepchildren will have to go. So they take Hansel & Gretel to the woods to abandon them – which doesn’t quite go to plan. Another attempt is more successful but has surprising consequences. One of the highlights is a salsa sequence in the Witch’s house. (Feeling hot, hot, hot?)

Songs suggested in the script are:

Fairy Tales

Fast Food Song

I Can Help

Wherever You Are

Sweets For My Sweet

Hot, Hot, Hot

All You Need Is Love
