Appropriate for Children 5 and up ; best for Children 6 – 12

As each colorful page of a giant story book turns, a new exciting scene is revealed. Hansel and Gretel must call upon their inner reserves and learn new methods to overcome the challenges they encounter while lost in the wood. Based on the classic fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, the story is set in the 19th century, featuring melodies from the Humperdinck opera. All the staging, scenery, and marionettes are handcrafted by Tanglewood Marionettes and together represent over a year of construction time.
