MUSICAL – Ages 8 to 16 are invited to audition for our annual JR show!
With a score by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe (Mary Poppins), Honk! JR. is a heartwarming celebration of being different that is sure to delight audiences of all ages with its sparkling wit, unique charm and memorable score. Witty and hilarious, but also deeply moving, Honk! JR. treats audiences to equal amounts of laughter and tears.
Ugly looks quite a bit different from her darling duckling brothers and sisters. The other animals on the farm are quick to notice and point this out, despite her mother’s protective flapping. Feeling rather foul about herself, the little fowl finds herself on an adventure of self-discovery, all the while unknowingly outwitting a very hungry Cat. Along the way, Ugly meets a whole flock of unique characters and finds out being different is not a bad thing to be.
Approximate duration: 90 minutes
