How did the Elephant get his trunk?
How did the Leopard get his spots?
How did the Rhinoceros get his skin?

The team that composed Honk! answers these questions
in a fresh interpretation of Rudyard Kipling’s
Just So
Stories
that teaches a fanciful lesson about personal
courage, individuality, and friendship.

About the Musical
It took twenty-five years for Just So to be completed by its authors,
George Stilles and Anthony Drewe, who took a  break from it to write the
musical,
Honk!  


Based on the several short stories by Rudyard Kipling, the show is similar
in style to
Seussical, which weaves together the stories of Dr. Seuss.  


(A 2005 recording is available on Amazon.com and iTunes.)



About Rudyard Kipling
The show is based on the Just So Stories, written by Rudyard Kipling
(1865 - 1936), an English author and poet who also wrote
The Jungle
Book
.
