On December 7th, Synchronicity Theatre opened A Year With Frog and Toad, a family-friendly musical based on Arnold Lobel's beloved characters, Frog and Toad.

A hit on Broadway, A Year with Frog and Toad was nominated for three Tony Awards - including Best Musical -- and is known for its sophisticated lyrics, beautiful story, and hummable score by Robert and Willie Reale. The show follows two great friends - the cheerful, popular Frog and the grumpy, impulsive Toad through four fun-filled seasons in which they plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding, and learn life lessons along the way. Part vaudeville, part make-believe, A Year with Frog and Toad is a story of a friendship that endures - weathering all seasons.

A Year with Frog and Toad is directed by Jenna Tamisiea, and features music direction by Suzi Award-Winning Amanda Wansa Morgan (The Color Purple) and choreography byJenise Cook. The cast includes Atlanta-based actors Matt Baum as Frog, Greg Hunter as Toad, Elliott Folds as Bird/Snail, Taryn Janelle as Bird/Mouse, and Lyndsay Ricketson as Bird/Turtle.

The show runs through December 30th. For tickets and info, please visit synchrotheatre.com.
