Based on the original German legend by the Brothers Grimm and the English translation by the 19th-century British poet, Robert Browning, the Tales & Scales performance will include live contemporary music by a quartet of wind and horn musicians, as well as modern dance moves choreographed to give a fresh sping to the old story about generosity and honesty.
The show, recommended for children 5 and older, will be preceded by a specially priced luncheon for kids and their families at the Blue & Gold Club. Both venues are handicapped accessible.
Seating is reserved for the hour-long show, and tickets cost $12 for the general public, $10 for seniors, UD employees and UD alumni and $5 for children. Tickets may be purchased by visiting the University of Delaware ticket offices between noon and 5 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, or calling (302) 831-2204. Tickets also may be purchased through Ticketmaster (where a service fee may apply) at (302) 984-2000 or online at [www.ticketmaster.com].
