Wondrous and hilarious, HANS conjures the life and stories of Hans Christian Andersen, from his poor childhood as an “Ugly Duckling”, to fame across Europe. Beloved tales like “The Little Mermaid”, "Princess and the Pea", and “Little Match Girl” come to life as you’ve never seen them before: through puppetry, live video, clown, slapstick comedy, opera, and an original accordion soundtrack! 

NEW for 2025: this new work from Kidoons by Craig Francis and Rick Miller and, the creators of the hit multimedia family plays Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea (Off-Broadway 2016, international tour), Jungle Book (Florida-California 2018, Canada / US international tour 2019-20 including Off-Broadway), and FRANKENSTEIN: A Living Comic Book (Canadian Tour 2022-24). A delight for school children, grownups, and the whole family.
