“A Year with Frog and Toad”, based on the Arnold Lobel story series, is a witty, sophisticated treat for all ages, following best friends Frog and Toad through a year of hilarious and poignant antics and adventures, to the tune of one of the jazziest, upbeat scores in recent memory. Nominated for best book, best score, and best musical at the 2003 Tony Awards, “A Year With Frog And Toad” remains true to the spirit of the original stories as it follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation in the spring, they proceed to plant gardens, swim, rake leaves and go sledding, learning life lessons along the way, including a most important one about friendship and rejoicing in the attributes that make each of us different and special.”  Great family-friendly entertainment for ages 5 – 95!
