"Hansel and Gretel" by Tanglewood Marionettes

“Hansel and Gretel” by Tanglewood Marionettes

While lost in the woods, Hansel and Gretel encounter many challenges (including a witch!) and must call upon their inner reserves to make it through. In this beautiful adaptation of the classic fairytale by the Brothers Grimm, the pages of a giant storybook turn to reveal each scene of Hansel and Gretel’s adventure! While lost in the woods, the pair encounter many challenges (including a witch!) and must call upon their inner reserves to make it through. The story is accompanied by the melodies from the opera of the same name by Engelbert Humperdinck, adding another layer of richness to this delightful production.

All ages welcome, recommended for ages 4+
