Enter an enchanting world where children dare not to wander in the woods for fear of witches who turn little girls and boys into gingerbread!  This timeless fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm comes to vivid life in this sparkling production by renowned children's author and illustrator Maurice Sendak.  Sendak, who is known for such favorites as Where The Wild Things Are and the Little Bear stories, has created an astounding treat for the senses. Children of all ages will marvel at Sendak's delicious designs and delight in Humperdinck's rich melodies, awakening the child-like wonder in us all.
