The Pied Piper of Hamelin

Illustrated brightly colored promotional poster for “The Pied Piper of Hamelin” presented by Roxey Ballet

This contemporary reimagining of The Pied Piper of Hamelin is a high-energy, zany romp through the notorious German folk tale. Set to rock-opera style anthems and featuring upbeat choreography, the production tells the story of a rat-catcher dressed in vibrant, multicolored clothing who is hired by a medieval town to lure away a plague of rats with his magical pipe. The production features original music and lyrics by Richard Jarboe and Harvey Shield, bringing a dynamic, modern twist to this classic tale.

This production highlights Roxey Ballet Company’s commitment to arts education and community involvement by providing local dance students the opportunity to perform alongside seasoned professionals.
