A hit on Broadway, this musical has a jazzy, upbeat score. Follow two friends, cheerful Frog and grumpy Toad, as they share woodland adventures across the cycle of four seasons as described in the popular series written by children’s writer and illustrator Arnold Lobel. Experience how they adapt in order to manage changes in the environment, learn how to be a friend, and feel the joy in what makes each of us special.
