Events Description

 

OttawaMusicals is back at the Great Canadian Theatre Company with their 9th annual panto—a rollicking family musical adventure inspired by the classic story of Hansel and Gretel, now with a wild west twist! Hidden Valley Ranch is home to a colourful cast of characters: a tough-as-nails sheriff, a whip-smart outlaw called The Kid, a suspiciously charming new farmhand, and a pair of clever kids always ready for mischief.

When a pint-sized bounty hunter with a sweet tooth and a faulty map stumbles onto the ranch, chaos ensues. The kids’ woodland escapades—complete with beavers, bear dung, and plenty of laughs—are just the beginning. Meanwhile, flashbacks reveal a shadowy deal between a mysterious new arrival and a certain gingerbread-loving local, whose house might just be the sweetest trap in the valley.

With slapstick humour, toe-tapping songs, and plenty of audience participation, this musical is perfect for the whole family. Join OttawaMusicals at the GCTC for a wild, heartwarming ride through the west—where surprises, silliness, and fun await at every turn!
