Achtung Grimm!

The Wanderlusters

"Theatre and fairy tales both work best when they make us jump out of our skin a little bit. Writer/Director Renee Philippi helps evoke this feeling by letting the Wanderlusts be our devious guide into Grimmsville."
- Larry Kunofsky, nytheatre.com

In The Wanderlusters Present "Achtung Grimm!" jobless circus stars stage the Brothers Grimm tales. It is a mix of comedy, song, dance, puppets and a lot of attitude in this brilliant rediscovery of the Germanic tales. From Snow White's Mirror Mirror singing how he determines "Who is the fairest of them all," to The Juniper Tree's Stepmother singing "What's in it for me?" before decapitating her Stepson, The Wanderlusters give the Grimm tales a comic yet menacing twist.

This irreverent musical is a hit with both children and adults, an ideal family show.

"A fascinating piece of theatre."
- Matt Windman, Backstage
