Hansel and Gretel is a musical adaptation of the Brothers Grimm story. It was directed by Paul Bogart and broadcast as a live television special on NBC on April 27, 1958. It is one of a long series of fantasies presented on television as musical specials after the enormously successful first two telecasts of the Mary Martin Peter Pan. But Hansel and Gretel did not repeat the success of Peter Pan or several of the other specials. It was shown only once, then lapsed into obscurity, although a cast album was issued. The album, also long forgotten, has recently been issued on compact disc. imdb.com
