Honk! A Musical Tale of the Ugly Duckling
Music by George Stiles
Book and Lyrics by Anthony Drewe
Directed by Jillian Keiley
Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved tales, this high-energy musical comedy tells the story of Ugly, the duckling who is born into ridicule and loneliness because he is different.
From the moment Ugly breaks out of his unusually large egg, his father and siblings will have nothing to do with him. Some of the other waterfowl whisper among themselves that some eggs are best left unhatched. Even the love of his loyal mother is not enough to keep Ugly in the duckyard, and when he follows a treacherous cat into worlds unknown, he will need to brave untold dangers before he can find happiness, love, and the beauty of his true self.
With its exuberant music and steady stream of hilarious characters, HONK! will delight every member of your family this holiday. A fowl play has never been quite this much fun!
