Honk
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 (dubbed “The brightest hopes for the future of the British musical” by The London Daily Telegraph), “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 you to equal amounts of laughter and tears. Perfect for all ages! No feathers or fur necessary to attend! Its charm, humor and message of tolerance is perfect for all.
“A marvelously funny, frequently touching and constantly magical theatre piece… sure to have a long and lustrous life.”
-The Southampton Press
“One’s inner child is not disappointed… messages about diversity have never gone down so painlessly.”
-The Boston Globe
“A celebration of being different”
-BBC Kaleidoscope
