| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 8. Minimum Female roles = 10. Minimum total with doubling = 23. Minimum total without doubling = 40. No chorus.

| Music | Sheet music for 7 original songs and 3 pieces of incidental music is provided with the producer's copy of the script. |
| Style | Comic retelling of fairytales as a musical play. Many scenes, but using the same few pieces of 'set furniture'. Simple props. |
| Synopsis | Hans Christian Andersen gets an unexpected visit from the Brothers Grimm - who seem to be upset over the matter of stealing story lines. A competition ensues, with characters from Andersen and Grimm stories taking the stage - often in unexpected ways. |
