The story of HONK! Jr.
The story follows “Ugly”, whose odd, gawky looks instantly incite prejudice from his family and neighbours. Separated from the farm and pursued by a hungry cat, Ugly must find his way home, with only his loving mother Ida searching for him.
Along his harrowing yet hilarious journey, he not only discovers his true beauty and glorious destiny, but also finds love and acceptance in all its forms.
The musical is so inspirational in its message of acceptance and tolerance that the Ministry of Education in Israel has made it compulsory viewing for school children.
What people are saying about HONK! Jr.
They are a joy to watch and a pleasure to listen to … it is a real crowd pleaser.
The BlurbEmily Svarnias as Ida, the mother duck, was outstanding… She was the most glamorous-looking duck I’ve ever seen
