Step into a world of dark fantasy, vintage glamour, and theatrical wonder as Hansel & Gretel make its thrilling Las Vegas premiere at The Smith Center.

Presented by Nevada Ballet Theatre in Reynolds Hall, this bold reimagining of the Brothers Grimm classic transforms the familiar fairy tale into a visually striking journey filled with danger, magic, and mischief.

Set in a sinister realm ruled by a maniacal Ice Cream Witch, this lavish production blends Gothic intrigue with the charm of 1930s black-and-white cinema.

Audiences can expect a performance rich with atmosphere, energetic choreography, and spectacular projections that bring the story to life in unforgettable fashion.

The production also features costumes by Academy Award winner Kate Hawley, known for her work on Frankenstein, Crimson Peak, and Pacific Rim, adding another layer of cinematic artistry to the stage.

With music by Claire Cowan and choreography by Loughlan Prior, this version of Hansel & Gretel offers a fresh and imaginative take on a timeless story of hardship, courage, hope, and the triumph of good over evil. It is an ideal outing for theater lovers, ballet fans, and families with older children seeking a dramatic, memorable live performance in Las Vegas.

Families planning to attend should note that children ages 5 and older are welcome with a ticket, and every guest must have their own ticket regardless of age. Patrons age 16 or older may attend without an accompanying adult if they have a parent or guardian’s permission. Ticket prices, including fees, range from $41.35 to $201.25.

Whether you are drawn by the Gothic style, the cinematic inspiration, or the chance to experience a major Las Vegas premiere, Hansel & Gretel promises an enchanting and theatrical escape this May.
