Missoula Children’s Theatre proudly presents an original musical adaptation of the Brothers Grimm’s age-old tale of a journey, a secret, and a grand adventure. Left behind while their friends embark on summer adventures, Hank and Gretchen are stuck with a severe case of the summertime blues. But boredom quickly morphs into bewilderment when they drift into a shared dream, a wacky time-traveling adventure!

Left behind while their friends embark on summer adventures, Hank and Gretchen are stuck with a severe case of the summertime blues. But boredom quickly morphs into bewilderment when they drift into a shared dream, a wacky time-traveling adventure! Suddenly, they’re Hansel and Gretel, lost in a hilariously spooky forest. Enter Granny, a wise-cracking guide who’s seen it all, and a cast of quirky characters: mischievous Rascals who love a good prank, adorable Wallybirds with a serious cookie addiction, and a legion of gingerbread men with questionable baking skills. But the real mystery lies in the candy-coated cottage and its resident, the infamous Wildwood Witch. Is she a cackling villain or a misunderstood baker with a serious sweet tooth? Get ready for a musical romp filled with laughter, thrills, and a touch of the bizarre as Hank and Gretchen navigate their dream, learning that maybe, just maybe, the greatest adventures happen when you least expect them. Find out the secret of the Wildwood, but keep it under your hat – it’s a secret worth keeping!
