Honk the Musical

Roundwood Variety Group is very excited as they plan their production of the musical comedy Honk on the last weekend in January 2011.

The musical appeals to adults and children alike & is full of great songs and dance and fun. It has been a world-wide stage sensation seen by over 5 million people. Honk has won multiple awards including the 2000 Olivier Award for Best Musical (beating the Lion King and Mamma Mia for the prize).
