A Year with Frog & Toad

"A Year With Frog and Toad," a Broadway hit, was nominated for three Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Based on Arnold Lobel's beloved children's books, it features a jazzy, upbeat score by Robert and Willie Reale. This whimsical musical follows two great friends, the cheerful Frog and the curmudgeonly Toad, through four fun-filled seasons. They meet new friends like Man Bird, Lady Bird, Turtle, Squirrel, and more.
