Ages 9-13: Pied Piper The Musical!

In this humorous version, the Rats are Hip Hop rats that can rap and are quite loveable. The Corporation, the Mayor’s sidekicks, offer plenty of laughs as well as the Mayor’s spoiled “little prince” son. There is a playful hopping between modern times and the middle ages throughout along with an appearance of a character from another story during set changes. The variety of music in this play is astounding from opera to rap to songs the actors waltz to along with the Pied Piper’s haunting and evocative music both sung and played on his pipes. This play promises to delight all types! At the beginning of the script you will find the director’s notes which include notes on the production, costumes, ideas for the set and needed stage props.

In this classic children’s tale dating back centuries, the Pied Piper arrives in the town of Hamelin, a small village in Germany, where he promises to rid the town of their rat infestation with his magical charms if he is paid. Once the Pied Piper accomplishes the goal of getting rid of the rats, the town’s Mayor and his corporation renege on their promise to pay the Pied Piper and things proceed in an unexpected manner from that point on.
