The Ugly Duckling

Chicago Kids Company brings popular children’s tale The Ugly Duckling to life in a new bilingual musical at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre April 3-13, 2018.

The Ugly Duckling is an updated musical version of the classic tale about belonging. The story follows Sophia, a new duckling at Lucky Ducky School who isn’t quite the same as the other little ducks. Chicago Kids Company’s new bilingual musical is great fun for both English and Spanish speakers–there’s no need to be fluent in both to enjoy this tale about accepting the wonderful ways in which we’re all one-of-a-kind. Recommended for grades PreK-3.

The Ugly Duckling runs April 3 through April 13, 2018. Specific dates and times are listed below. Tickets are $14 for adults and $12 for children 12 and under, and can be purchased online at MetropolisArts.com.
