From the familiar fable of the swan who grows up 'ugly' in a family of ducks.

We all know the fable of the swan who grows up 'ugly' in a family of ducks, and who later finds his appearance changing as he discovers his true identity. Around the world, we find that many different animals learn the lesson of the 'ugly duckling.'

This delightful musical combines the folk traditions of other cultures and unites the classic ugly duckling with the Burmese mole that hates dirt and the Inuit bald eagle with a full head of hair. These three 'misfit' heroes work together to earn their home on the King's estate, and ultimately find self-confidence, friendship and a sense of accomplishment.
