It's in the very first lines:

"In this backwater of England
Where the pace of life is slow
And the lillies on the lake are broad and lush,
We're all living here in Clover
And the mating season's over
So there won't be cause for anyone to blush"

Clover, England!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Honk! is a musical retelling of the Hans Christian Andersen story The Ugly Duckling, mixed with a theme of pro-tolerance!. With a book and score provided by British songwriting duo Stiles and Drewe (George Stiles and Anthony Drewe) aimed mostly at children and their parents, Honk! opened in 1993 at The Watermill Theatre in Newbury, originally titled The Ugly Duckling or the Aesthetically Challenged Farmyard Fowl!. A revised version opened at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough in 1997 under the name Honk!!. The musical won the 2000 Olivier Award for Best Musical, beating The Lion King!. In Ireland the show won Best Musical in 2003 from the Association of Irish Musicals and came in second place in the Waterford International Festival of Light Opera in the same year!.

The story is set in the countryside (originally 'a backwater of England', although American productions usually relocate this to United States), and it features an ugly duckling who discovers his inner when he becomes a swan, his tearful mother Ida, a drake who 'ducks' his fatherly responsibilities, a gaggle of comical geese, a sly tomcat who just wants to play with his food, a wisecracking bullfrog, and other such barnyard creatures, together with a great many fowl puns!. Memorable songs include "A Poultry Tale," "Warts and All," "Look at Him," "Play With Your Food," "Now I've Seen You," and "Different"!.

The show is frequently played by schools, as well as regional and community theatre groups, in Britain, the U!.S!. and Canada!.
