Back by popular demand... it's HONK!
It's fun, light, and perfect for a family audience... and every
audience. If you missed Honk! you've another chance to visit
your favourite barnyard characters at the Arts Club Granville
Island Stage. Under new direction, experience a reminiscently
close yet new perspective on this transformation of the classic
Hans Christian Andersons' timeless tale into a loveable musical
comedy staged in a duck pond.
The story unfolds through an enchanting musical arrangement
of foot-tapping numbers such as Different, Hold
Your Head Up High,
and Warts & All, all driving our hero on a journey to find
himself and where he belongs in the world. Surrounded by adventures
at every turn, he meets a variety of enthusiastic, yet eclectic
characters, each teaching him more about life and who he really
is, delivering one powerful message... believe in yourself! "It
may be a 'poultry tale' and seem feather light but under the
duck pond-like service run themes important to kids and grownups
alike" - Jo Ledingham - Vancouver Courier.
This magical tale will entertain you through its colourful,
larger-than-life, cartoon like atmosphere, engaging the young
and old with its
honest and pure tales of childhood and growing up. Honk! was no competition for Britain's prestigious Olivier Award
for Best
New Musical.
Under the new direction of Sylvia Hosie, she is joined by
returning Choreographer, Dana Kosalko-Harris, and Musical
Director, Kevin-Michael
Cripps. With costume designs by Christina
Sinosich and lighting
design by Paul Neumeyer, "this story is sure to be a colourful
feast for the eyes!" Pat Waldron, Artistic Managing
Producer, recent recipient of the honourable Sam Payne award,
produces.
Grab your wellies! It's time to wander back into the wonderful
world of Honk!
