Come join the Bavarian party this Christmas at Southport Little Theatre as we travel to old Germania.
The Pied Piper is a heartwarming and entertaining tale filled with catchy songs, dazzling dances, and plenty of laughter, making it a perfect treat for audiences of all ages during the festive season.
Set in the whimsical town of Hamelin, the story follows the adventures of Pippin, who arrives in the town just when it’s facing a rat infestation. The townspeople, desperate to rid themselves of the pesky rodents, eagerly promise to reward the piper handsomely if he can solve their problem. However, the town’s Burgomeister, goes back on his promise and things take an unexpected twist.
Step into a world of enchantment and wonder as we present to you an electrifying pantomime extravaganza that will sweep you off your feet and leave you on the edge of your seat! Prepare to be dazzled by a symphony of laughter, astonishment, and pure, unadulterated joy.
Meet Helga Von Trump, the town’s sausage-maker and her silly son Willie. Follow Heidi as she runs the local Bierkeller, keeping her dad the Burgomeister happy, while her boyfriend Hans tries to keep things from going topsy-turvy as the town clerk.
Watch out for Sour-Kraut, an evil sorceress and her sidekick the repulsive Rat-Worst as they try their best to frighten the residents of Hamelin. Have no fear though folks as we have our rat catchers Blatter and Splatter on hand to make things very entertaining.
Marvel at the spellbinding sets that transport you to fantastical realms beyond your wildest dreams, brought to life by a masterful fusion of colour, light, and visual effects that will leave your senses tingling with delight.
So, come one, come all, and immerse yourself in an unforgettable experience that promises to be a kaleidoscope of joy, an orchestra of enchantment, and a spectacle of pure exhilaration. Secure your place in this theatrical phenomenon and be swept away by the tide of excitement – a pantomime like no other awaits your eager presence!
