Honk! - 1999 - London Fringe History , Info & More

Landor Theatre
70 Landor Rd., Clapham London

Based on the story “The Ugly Duckling" by Hans Christian Andersen

Honk! is a musical adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen story The Ugly Duckling. This is the story of Ugly, whose odd, gawky looks instantly incite prejudice from his family and other barnyard creatures. 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. Aimed primarily at children and their parents, the musical incorporates a message of tolerance.



The original London production won the 2000 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Musical.
