This Weekend the WCCT brings you Honk!
Honk! is a musical retelling of the Hans Christian Andersen story The Ugly
Duckling, mixed with a theme of pro-tolerance. With a witty book and score
provided by British songwriting duo Stiles and Drewe (George Stiles and Anthony
Drewe), Honk! opened at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough in 1997. The
story features a squadron of comical geese, a sly tomcat who just wants to play
with his food, a tearful mother, a dad always `ducking` out of his
responsibilities, a duo comprising of a cat and a hen right out of a
Shakespearean comedy, a wisecracking bullfrog, and an ugly duckling who
discovers his inner beauty by becoming a swan. With such songs as A Poultry
Tale, Warts and All, and Different, Honk! won an Olivier Award (equivalent to an
American Tony Award) for Best Musical, beating The Lion King.
