Description Acclaimed Australian theatre company My Darling Patricia’s immersive retelling of The Pied Piper of Hamelin is a unique theatrical journey. This Pied Piper is a bear – a dancer with a rebel soul. Yet there is an even more unusual twist: part of the audience is invited on stage and into the story.
Pairs of an adult and a child are fitted with wireless headphones for this intimate and participatory experience for a limited number of audience members who contribute to the experience, viewed by the seated audience. Onstage tickets are available as a concession when booking your tickets for the show.
Participants booking the Onstage experience are asked to arrive at Underbelly Potterrow and meet at the Box Office 30 minutes before your scheduled performance. Onstage tickets are suitable for 1 Adult and 1 Child aged 5 or older as participants will be part of the onstage audience.
