Photo Flash: First Look at HONK, JR. at Rivertown Theaters

Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts continues their commitment to providing productions to showcase and develop the talents of budding local thespians with a delightful production of Honk, Jr. based on Honk, the musical version of the classic tale, The Ugly Duckling, running April 10 - 19, 2015. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Since it first hatched in 1993 Honk! has winged its way around the world in over 8000 productions and in many different languages. Ugly looks quite a bit different from his darling duckling brothers and sisters. The other animals on the farm are quick to notice and point this out, despite his mother's protective flapping. Feeling rather foul about himself, the little fowl finds himself on adventure of self discovery all the while unknowingly outwitting a very hungry Cat. Along the way Ugly meets a whole flock of unique characters and finds out being different is not a bad thing to be.

Directed by Joel & Paige Rainey, the show will feature young performers from around the metropolitan New Orleans area, including: Bree Hollis, Tess Fouchi, Emery Baudry, Reese Macicek, Caroline Haydel, Meredith Falk-Charbonnet, Tyler Riggs, Kelly Laines, Lauren McMahon, Mason O' Rouike, Julia Kuchler, Katey Haydel, Madeleine Ascaui, Isabelle Farrufia, Simon Rucker, Riley Macicek, Bailey Fife, Julia Kuchler, Abby Johnson, Chloe Duvernay and Matthew Foss.

On the production team are directors Joel & Paige Rainey, choreographer Julieanne Natal, musical director Joel Rainey, set designer Derek Blanco, and costume designer Sara Bandurian.
