Featuring book and lyrics by Anthony Drewe and music by George Stiles, Honk! Kids is a charming 30-minute adaptation of Honk! Jr., specially designed for young performers and family audiences. Based on the classic tale of The Ugly Duckling, the story follows one very different duck on a journey filled with humor, heart, and self-discovery. It’s a heartwarming reminder that sometimes the thing that makes you different is the very thing that makes you shine.
Billed as a tale that proves it’s cool to be you, Honk! Kids celebrates courage, friendship, and the joy of embracing what makes each of us unique. Along the way, audiences will meet a flock of colorful characters and enjoy catchy songs that make this musical adventure both entertaining and uplifting.
Under Annie Dragoo’s direction, this production showcases the energy, creativity, and talent of HART’s young performers. With playful storytelling and a message that resonates across generations, Honk! Kids offers a welcoming theatre experience for first-time audiences and seasoned patrons alike.
