The Centre Theatre Proudly Presents
HONK!
A musical comedy based on Hans Christian Andersen’s
"The Ugly Duckling"
A Centre Theater and Theatre Horizon Collaboration
June 4-July 2, 2009
This is a delightful family musical, suitable for ages 4 through 100. Bring the whole family from youngsters to grandmoms and grandpas!
In the London season featuring the appearance of "The Lion King," "HONK!" became a stand-out by winning the 2000 Olivier Award (the British equivalent of the Tony® Award) for Best New Musical. Written by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, "HONK!" has been dubbed the brightest hopes for the future of the British musical.
"HONK!" is the story of Ugly, whose odd, gawky looks instantly incite prejudice from his family and neighbors. Separated from the farm and pursued by a hungry Cat, Ugly must find his way home. Along his rollicking and harrowing journey he not only discovers his true beauty and glorious destiny, but also finds love and acceptance in all its forms.
Witty and hilarious, but also deeply moving, "Honk!" will treat your audiences to equal amounts of laughter and tears. Its charm, humor and message of tolerance is perfect for a family audience, and every audience.
