We've had fantastic response to the premiere of Hansel & Gretel and the Witch at Northern Stage in Newcastle, and the reviews are coming in!
Directed by Liv Lorent, our latest production gives a fresh twist to the classic fairytale, bringing together dance, storytelling, music and some unexpected surprises.
Bruce Marriott of Lifted Leg awarded the production five stars, describing it as:
“a show that tells a magical story”
Another reviewer said:
“Wow, balletLORENT’s new production Hansel and Gretel and the Witch, directed by Liv Lorent MBE, is really something else!”
And, capturing the darker side of our fairytale, one review described how:
“This story’s undertow cuts through the frills like the finest, darkest chocolate.”
It's wonderful to see the production receiving such a positive response. We're now looking forward to taking Hansel & Gretel and the Witch on tour in 2027.
