The Pied Piper -- Rats, rats, and more rats! Hamlin is full of 'em. Rats are skating in the washtubs, playing marbles on the cobblestones, popping out of chimneys, flowerpots, and hats. The mayor hires "rat catchers" who charge outrageous fees and get no results. Finally, the mysterious Pied Piper arrives in town and promises to play a tune the rats will find irresistible, solving the town's rat problems once and for all. This wonderful musical comes complete with live actors in clever and colorful costumes, cartloads of rat puppets, and an ultimately happy ending! November 10, 2002 |
