Honk - Romiley Forum, 2rd-7th October 2006

Honk closed on Saturday 7th October, and as usual, proved to be a quacking (groan!)... erm, no a cracking (bigger groan!) show. Watch this space for photos and a review!

Ever had the feeling that everyone goes Quack and you go Honk!? Spring has come to the duckyard. Drake, the Mallard Duck, and his long suffering partner, Ida, await the birth of a new brood, but the clutch seems to contain one inordinately large egg this year.Sure enough, it cracks open to reveal an ugly chick nothing like his siblings, who makes a strange sound instead of the expected quack...

Honk is, of course, the musical adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson's The Ugly Duckling. Written by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, Honk won the Olivier Award for Best Musical in 2000. The show will be again steered by Director Rod Goddard and Musical Director Claire Sweeney. New to ROS for Honk is choreographer Mike Ward, who has previously appeared in Carousel for ROS.
