There once was an ugly duckling…
…and that was just the start of his problems!
Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale has been transformed into a modern musical comedy for all the family. When Ugly hatches under the adoring gaze of his proud mum, his musical adventures begin. The show is full of charm, witty lyrics, catchy songs, really bad puns and a cast of ducks, geese, turkeys, bullfrogs and an indefatigable cat.
Pantheon’s 2002 production of Honk! played 21–25 May 2002 at The Cottier Theatre.
We also took Honk! on tour to the Waterford International Festival of Light Opera in September 2002.
