SYNOPSIS
Sent into the woods, Hansel and Gretel meet up with a number of peculiar characters.  A fiery troll guards his little wooden bridge.  Even more, an articulate owl, a forest sprite, and two hobgoblins are in the service of an evil (but extremely funny) witch.  She locks poor Hansel in a cage and feeds him nothing but cake!  Everyone will cheer Gretel as she outwits the crone and sets free all the children who have been turned into cookies!  Every dramatic moment is brought to life, from the night spent in the woods to the discovery of the candy-coated little cottage.  Sweetened delightfully with music, all will enjoy the fun of songs like ’Gingerbread Witch’ and ’Apple Muffin Goblins.’
