Honk!

Last night we attended a musical production at a small community theater. One of Bill's co-workers was in the play, so his boss decided that everyone should support him. It was a fun family event!! I was pleasantly surprised at how incredible the girls were! They both sat through the ENTIRE thing- 2hr. & 20 min. running time. It helped that there was a lot of singing & dancing, and some little kids on stage. The show & songs were witty and entertaining and of course the message of inner beauty is timeless.

After it was over Bill leaned to Madisen & asked her, "What did you think of the show?" Her response was, "It was GREAT!", spoken enthusiastically! I grew up going to plays & various other community events so it was neat to be able to begin exposing my children to the 'fine arts'.Honk! is the musical interpretation of the classic Hans Christian Anderson story 'The Ugly Duckling. The musical has been written by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe. Hans Christian Andersons innocent story has been turned into a modern musical comedy. Honk! tells the story of Ugly, whose different and gawdy looks become a subject of speculation for his family and neighbors. He is the separated from his family and then pursued by a hungry cat. Ugly tries very hard to find his way back to his mother Ida. His loving mother is searching for him. As his fascinating journey continues he not only discovers his true beauty and glorious destiny, but he also finds love and acceptance. (from this web site)
