Join the students of Wales Academy of Voice and Dramatic Arts for a cracking extravaganza of a show as they retell the story of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Ugly Duckling” .
A wonderful treat for family audiences.
Spring has come to the farmyard in this fluffy adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved fable, The Ugly Duckling. Drake, the Mallard duck, and his long-suffering partner, Ida, await the birth of a new brood, but the nest seems to contain one inordinately large egg this year.
Sure enough, it cracks open to reveal a chick who looks nothing like his siblings and who makes a strange ‘honk’ sound instead of the expected quack.
Join Ugly on a journey of self-discovery as he meets a whole barnyard of characters who teach him the valuable lesson that being different isn’t bad at all.
A ‘stonkingly brilliant’ (Time Out Magazine) musical for all the family this Summer holiday.
Seen by over 6 million people, Honk has won multiple awards including the 2000 Olivier Award for Best Musical.
