The current version of Hansel & Grettel features this newly revised script and an updated musical score. In 2010 Paul Boyd directed a new staged concert version of Hansel & Grettel, premiering the show’s first extensive script and music revisions in thirteen years, at the New Wimbledon Studio in London. In February 2008 Hansel & Grettel enjoyed its USA premiere at Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in a hugely successful new staging by Dreamchild Productions which was revived at Miramar Cultural Center, Florida, from 2nd - 7th November 2009 in a version co-produced with Broward Center for the Performing Arts. The show’s second production, produced by the Lyric Theatre Belfast in 1999, broke box office records, and remains the theatre's most commercially successful stage production.

The original 1997 cast also featured Laurence Connor as Fats the Frog Laurence is now best known as a director of musicals, having staged, among other things, the 25th Anniversary productions of both Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall, the national tours of Phantom of the Opera and Jesus Christ Superstar (The Arena Tour), the West End revival of Miss Saigon, and the Broadway/West End musical School of Rock. The very first production of the show was staged in 1997 at the Riverside Theatre in Coleraine, and featured Paul in the role of Hansel, and Irish comic Tara Flynn (who fifteen years later would appear in the original cast of Paul’s musical Molly Wobbly’s Tit Factory) as Grettel. Paul Boyd's musical of Hansel & Grettel has been staged in nine professional productions since it premiered in 1997 and has consistently been one of Paul’s most successful productions across Ireland and the USA.
