Honk!
The Musical, is a hilarious adaptation of Han’s
Christian Anderson’s famed tale, The Ugly Duckling. The musical
will see the directorial debut of Sebastian Tan, best known for his
roles in the musical comedies Broadway Beng! and
Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs. At the launch of the Arts Festival last Friday
at SMU concourse, an excerpt of HONK! was presented to rave
reviews. The student talents show that they can be as good as
the professionals! The cast of 15 SMU students will be supported by
veteran actress Margaret Chan (now SMU faculty) in a cameo
role.
Acclaimed musical director Elaine Chan
(of Chang and Eng, Dim Sum
Dollies fame) will conduct a 10-piece SMU
student band for the musical. Some 25 other SMU undergraduates are
also involved in the production, administration and
marketing. - 13 Jan 2009
