Honk | |
| HONK! (Theatre) | comment |
HONK! is a musical adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Ugly Duckling", written by Anthony Drewe, music by George Stiles. First performed at The Watermill Theatre in England in 1993, the musical went on to West End, where, in 2000, it won the 2000 Olivier Award for Best Musical.The music for this show is relatively unique in that most of the characters can be played/sung by a male or female actor, and within a very comfortable range for most people. Anything above a Soprano 2 or Baritone range is generally optional within chorus numbers.The essential message of the story is tolerance, and being yourself, although this is somewhat subverted by the fact that Ugly is immediately beloved by the rest of the duckyard as soon as he becomes remotely attractive.Not to be confused with the most nightmarish sound ever to feature in a webcomic. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy | |
| HONK! (Theatre) / int_1779f10e | comment |
"Well Done, Son" Guy: While Ugly never specifically wishes for his father's love, he clearly includes Drake in his wish to be accepted by the duckyard. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing | |
| HONK! (Theatre) / int_2764d432 | comment |
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: The Cat pretends to be Ugly's friend when no one else will, all as a ruse to get close enough to eat him. Ugly is originally naive enough to believe this, although he wisens up towards the end of Act One. | |

| HONK! (Theatre) / int_723606c4 | comment |
Adaptational Early Appearance: Ugly sees his first swan much earlier than in the original story, freeing Penny from a net. This serves as Foreshadowing, since Penny mentions she used to look ugly when she was younger and honks just like him. | |

Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion: In the verse to "Warts and All," we get this gem: "If you just sit tight on your lily pad / Each silly fad will pass / Then those who sport this season's look / Will fall flat on their a...sk your mother what it's called."note This IS more of a Last-Second Word Swap, but if you choose to use the original UK libretto, then the line is more a subverted rhyme: "Will fall flat on their... how's about your wotzit?" A reverse/implied version happens in the verse to the song "Different": "If they knew / just how dearly I would love to... qu— qu— quONK / But it's true / I'm a bird who seems to lack the knack." | |
