HANS: My Life in Fairy Tales makes its World premiere with a dazzling new production that reimagines the life of the beloved author behind The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling, and The Emperor’s New Clothes. Blending Hans Christian Andersen’s remarkable journey with his timeless tales, this show arrives as the world marks the 150th anniversary of Anderson’s passing.
From the acclaimed team behind Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and FRANKENSTEIN: A Living Comic Book, creators Craig Francis and Rick Miller bring Andersen’s story to life with a theatrical tour-de-force featuring puppetry, live video, clowning, opera, slapstick comedy and an unforgettable accordion score.
This is storytelling on a grand scale: whimsical, visually stunning, and perfect for audiences of all ages. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering Andersen’s magic for the first time, HANS is a heartfelt celebration of imagination and the courage to dream.
