‘A lively, funny show with great child and audience appeal. I have no reservations about recommending this show to others. The children loved singing and performing the catchy numbers and 'Without our children' was very moving. A tesimony to it's success was to hear children who had been in the audience singing the songs.’  - Teacher, St. Edward's Junior School, Gloucestershire.


Product Description

This imaginative working of the well-loved story involves a large cast comprising of children and adults from Hamelin, the Rat Pack and a gospel chorus of young rats. The principal parts (Pied Piper, Mayor, Old Rat and so on) are not so large as to be over-taxing for junior actors, whilst there are plenty of cameo parts plus a choir. This challenging work is well within the scope of juniors.

Probably best known from Robert Browning's humorous poem, this show adds extra layers and facets with some delightfully modern touches - a hippy guerrilla rat pack, a rapping Pied Piper and a lively, tuneful score which includes ballad, rock and gospel styles. None of the poignancy however, has been lost, and the comedy emphasises the highly-charged emotional content.

Suitable for Key Stage 2 (ages 7-11) with flexible casting options to suit your needs. Full instructions are included for example cast sizes of 92 or 61 or 40 actors with unlimited chorus parts. Easy to stage with simple scenery and CDs of Backing and Vocal tracks are available, complete with all sound effects. Another sure fire hit from the same author as Ebenezer!
