Legacy Theatre stages ‘Honk! Jr.’ as first show with all kids cast

The old adage that there are no small parts only small actors comes true at The Legacy Theatre in Tyrone starting next Wednesday as the theatre’s Broadway Workshop students present “Honk! Jr.” The show will feature over 80 students in the first all youth production at The Legacy Theatre.

“Honk!Jr.” is based on Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved tale of “The Ugly Duckling.” The book and lyrics are by Anthony Drewe and the music is by George Stiles. “Honk” beat out “The Lion King” for the Olivier Award (the British equivalent of the Tony Award.”

Songs in the show include “A Poultry Tale” “Hold Your Head Up High” “Warts and All” and “Play With Your Food,” among others.

Performances of “Honk! Jr.” will be at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday, March 18-21 and at 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, March 21 and 22. Tickets are $12 and $5 for children ages 5 and under. Phone 404-895-1473 or visit www.thelegacytheatre.org for more information.
