About the Show

The classic children's tale of the Pied Piper is brought to life using hundreds of handcrafted marionettes at the New Victory Theater.

When the the prosperous town of Hamelin is suddenly overrun with rodents, can a mysterious stranger lure the pests away with only a simple song? This retelling of the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale features the intricate craftsmanship of more than 120 exquisite marionettes (and 300 puppet rats!). From Milan's famed Carlo Colla & Sons Marionette Company, this production celebrates low-tech, 19th-century artistry.

See it if you would like to see or have never seen an old-fashioned marionette show. Very talented marionettists; child-friendly.

Don't see it if being around a lot of kids bother you; you don't like marionettes and hate make believe.
