Plot Summary. We begin in the family's poor cottage, where Hansel, Gretel and their father ponder the possibility of Christmas without any food.

When the children go to bed, she reveals to her husband a dastardly plan to take them deep into the forest and abandon them. song - What A Wicked Woman. Having overheard this plan, as they are led far from the cottage the next day, Hansel and Gretel leave a trail of breadcrumbs which they intend to follow home. Tired from their long walk, and alone in the forest, the two children fall asleep. As they doze a flock of hungry birds enters, complaining about the lack of worms, the meagre titbits being left by humans these days, and how their only opportunity for a feed might be to ambush a squirrel. song - Those Good Old Days. Noticing the breadcrumbs, however, they eat their fill, leaving the children no way of finding their way home. Next, Hansel and Gretel run into a bungling gang of robbers. song - Robbers' Tango. , who spot the opportunity to kidnap the children and ransom them for cash. However, their wits are no match for Gretel's, and she and her brother make a comical escape.

Finally, exhausted and hungry, the children stumble across an enchanting cottage. song - The Gingerbread House. , built from every delicious confectionary imaginable. Encouraged by a curious group of goblins, they eat their fill, before being introduced to the owner of the cottage. At first this little old woman is welcoming, asking them to stay and rest, and eat as much as they can. However, she soon shows her true colours. Hansel is imprisoned while Gretel must 'force-feed' him in order to, as the old witch puts it, 'fatten him up' for the Christmas pot. song - Better Than One Is Two. As the wicked woman makes final preparations for her festive meal. song - Dinner At The Double. , it's down to the brave Gretel to once again save the day.
