Press Release: Limelight Performing Arts Center Presents: Honk! The Musical – A Professional Production
Honk! The Musical – Olivier Award for Best Musical – adapted from the world-famous Hans Christian Andersen story “The Ugly Duckling”, incorporating a message of tolerance and acceptance. The book and lyrics are by Anthony Drewe and music by George Stiles.
The musical is set in the idyllic countryside and features Ugly – a cygnet who is mistaken as an ugly duckling upon falling into his mother’s nest and is rejected by everyone but Ida (his mother), and a sly tomcat who only befriends him out of hunger, and several other barnyard characters. The show is a heartwarming and hilarious celebration of what makes us special. With a cast of incredibly talented Professional Philadelphia Actors (complemented by Limelight’s talented Children’s Professional Chorus), engaging scenery and clever costumes – the show is sure to delight everyone of all ages with its sparkling wit and memorable score.
