The well-loved characters of Arnold Lobel's classic Frog and Toad stories hop from page to stage. Remaining true to the spirit of the original stories, the show follows two great friends (the cheerful, 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, go sledding, celebrate Christmas and learn life lessons along the way. A jazzy upbeat score that bubbles with melody and wit makes this inventive, musical destined to be a holiday classic.
