One
week until HONK!
Ophidian Entertainment presents the Vancouver premiere of “Honk!” the
show that snatched Britain's prestigious Olivier Award for Best
New Musical. Remember the ugly duckling? He’s different from
the rest but full of belief and determination. The story unfolds
through an enchanting musical arrangement comprised of such songs
as Different, Hold Your Head Up High, It Takes All Kinds, Warts
and All and numerous other sing a longs. Cutely, concisely and
delicately delivering the message…believe in yourself. The
costumes, choreography, and colourful cartoon like design will
capture the attention of all ages, young and old.
The music was composed by George Stiles, and the book & lyrics
were created by Anthony Drewe. Together they have transformed Hans
Christian Andersen’s classic tale into a modern musical comedy.
Four time Jessie Award winner, Pat Waldron, will
produce – recent
Jessie nominee, Andrew Toth, will direct – Kevin-Michael
Cripps, “…plays like relish” -
Peter Birnie Vancouver Sun, will be the Musical Director. Dana
Kosalko will be the choreographer
and transform duck waddles into graceful movements.
I will be playing Penny, one of the characters
the ugly duckling meets along his adventure. I hope you can make
it out to see the
show!
