Axis Theatre presents family musical Hamelin at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre

It’s 13th century Germany and medieval Hamelin Town is way too big for its lederhosen. Axis Theatre tells this comedic and heart-tugging musical story with their unique physical style this Saturday at 3 p.m. at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre.

Families can expect a high-energy show with great costumes, rats, and dramatically-driven fun for the whole family.

Hamelin Town is governed by a spoiled mayor, his mommy and stuffy corporate types who have no interest in the hard-working townsfolk. The town is primed to learn some important lessons in life from our heroes, 10-year-old twins Celeste and Ralph.

When it seems that no one, other than their Opa Johannes ever keeps their word, they come up with a plan to make the grown-ups wake up and smell the strudel.

After the ridiculous new taxes render this tight-knit family homeless, desperate for help, they encounter a hapless minstrel, a flute that has seen better days and lots and lots of rats! With surprising plot twists, Hamelin: A New Fable, is an engaging revisit to one of the world’s most endearing fairytales.
