Full of fresh young talent Honk! brings the much-loved tale of The Ugly Duckling to Leicester Curve's stage.
With each of the characters being farmyard animals, the cast cleverly show the journey of an outcast odd-looking duckling called Ugly and his quest to find his mother.
While it has an underlying serious story line, the musical, which is performed by The Curve Young Company, gets the audience laughing throughout.
Meanwhile, the character of Ugly played by Keir Barradell - although a little annoying - managed to tug on our heart strings as we watched him being shunned by his family and friends.
When Ugly gets lost, we descend on a journey with him, as he attempts to make his way back home to his mother.
His mother, Ida, who was played by Lola McKinnon, deserves to be mentioned for her believable acting as a heartbroken parent, desperately searching for her lost child.
Like in all performances, we meet an array of characters, including the villain, which in this case is a devilish Tomcat, with a hungry appetite for ducklings.
The whole cast deserve a huge pat on the back for their animal acting, which initially could seem a bit of a challenge.
An extra special mention to Albert Hart, the youngster who plays the rooster - he had everyone 'aaawwwhing' and giggling with his adorable acting.
It is a fun and entertaining performance and a great watch for the whole family.
The show will be running until Saturday, July 5. For tickets or more information visit: www.curveonline.co.uk
