In November, Sydney Youth Musical Theatre will be producing the high-energy musical comedy, HONK!. This light-hearted and charming twist on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling is a story of acceptance. There’s a brood of newly hatched ducklings on the farm, but one – “Ugly” – is an odd-looking duck. Failing to fit in, he leaves home and along the way meets a whole flock of unique characters, outwits a hungry Cat, and discovers that being different is not so bad. With its sparkling wit, rollicking music and a steady stream of hilarious characters, HONK! captivates audiences of all ages.
