The story begins with Hansel and Gretel avoiding their chores. When their mother comes home to find the cottage a mess, she knocks over the milk jug in frustration. She sends Hansel and Gretel into the woods to pick strawberries for dinner and the adventure begins...

There are two shows, each with a different cast. The Candy Cane show and the Gingerbread show.
