“Gretel–the Musical” with folk rock music by Jenn Hartman Luck and Susan Zedar, and book by Jason Tremblay, shatters the traditional fairy tale roles for girls and women by putting Gretel at the heart of her own story. Struggling under the grief of losing her mother, her father having disappeeared, surviving the neglect and abuse of her stepmother and stepsister, she is thrust out into the world with only a single companion, the magic Doll given her as a blessing with her mother’s last breath. Together with Little Doll, Gretel must travel through the darkest forest to seek out the witch Baba Yaga who can help her undo spells and break the curses on her family–if she proves herself worthy.
