HONK! Is a musical based on one of the world's favourite fairy-tales,
Hans Christian Andersen's "The Ugly Duckling".

Ugly is born, of course, as a duckling but it soon becomes clear that he is no ordinary duck. A gaggle of farmyard characters join the naïve, but lovable Ugly in his rights-of-passage journey from misrepresented duckling to elegant swan. Peril lies around every corner, usually in the shape of the ravenous Cat but Ugly receives help from unlikely sources and wins through thanks to his sheer good nature.

Stiles and Drewe's Honk! was the winner of the 2000 Olivier award for Best New Musical, beating Mamma Mia!, Spend Spend Spend and The Lion King.

Since it first hatched in 1993, Honk! has winged its way around the world in over 8,000 productions and has been seen by over 6 million people.

“ Imagine the colour and wit of Disney’s Jungle Book, mixed with the vivacity of ‘40s Hollywood musicals, exuberantly staged, and you still only have some idea of how stonkingly brilliant this treat is...”
