Well done to all involved with today’s production of Honk. Really enjoyable songs and acting was great. You have clearly worked really hard to bring this production to the stage. I really enjoyed it.

A fantastic light hearted child friendly musical treat! Wonderful dance routines, beautiful and very catchy songs. The cast are all very talented actors, singers and dancers. Playful and clever set design and costume design beautifully enhance the sense of fun and good humour. There are plenty of one liners for both children and adults. It’s an imaginative re telling of a classic tale that is bound to enliven your trip to The Fringe. A great venue right in the centre of Town.

A brilliant performance, entertaining for children and Adults alike. Lots of witty one liners. The singing was glorious, the costumes fun, lovely little dance routines. The children in the audience were absolutely captivated. Lots of laugh out loud moments from the entertaining naughty cat. Take the family for a great hour of entertainment. Edinburgh Festival at its best.
