Roxey Ballet's Sensory Friendly- Pied Piper of Hamelin

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.
