The Alliance Theatre Presents HONK! Closes 3/20

The ALLIANCE THEATRE announces the beloved musical HONK! will close on Sunday, March 20. Based on Hans Christian Andersen's beloved children's fable The Ugly Duckling, HONK! Is the story of an odd looking baby duck, Ugly, and his quest to find his mother.

With an original book and lyrics by Anthony Drewe and music by George Stiles, the production is directed by Sally G. Tomlinson Artistic Director of Theatre for Youth Rosemary Newcott.

"For more than 150 years, this classic tale has taught children to embrace their inner beauty and not  to judge others by their appearance," said Newcott. "HONK! brings the story to life in the form of a musical which has been embraced by audiences all over the world. We're thrilled to bring its magic to the children of Atlanta."
