Pied Piper-Musical "RATS"
Every Wednesday from 14th May to 10th September 2008
at 4:30pm, on the Hochzeitshaus-Terrace
in the centre of the town.
The musical takes some 40 minutes.
Admission-Free!
In addition to the Pied Piper Open-Air Play on Sundays, the musical "RATS", a humorous interpretation of the legend, was attended last year by some 50,000 guests at over 22 performances on the Hochzeitshaus-Terrasse, right in the centre of the old town.
Pied Piper Musical - "Rats"
We would like to thank the companies E-On Westfalen/Weser and the Stadtwerke Hameln, who again have been the main sponsors of the musical since 2000 - the musical would not run without their support.
The new presentation is in the various lively styles of: Waltz, March, Ballads, and even Rap. All of which can be purchased on CD from the souvenir-stand at the show or from the Internet Shop.
The story follows the traditional legend. The Piper leads the rats to the Weser River. However, the Rat-King forms an allegiance with the town council, and survives.
