A Year with Frog and Toad

Arnold Lobel's treasured characters hop from page to stage in a story of friendship and adventure.

A hit on Broadway, A Year with Frog and Toad was nominated for three Tony Awards – including Best Musical. Based on Arnold Lobel's well-loved books, and featuring a hummable score by Robert and Willie Reale, this whimsical 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, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding and learn life lessons along the way. The two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special. Part vaudeville, part make believe... all charm, A Year with Frog and Toad tells the story of a friendship that endures throughout the seasons.

The jazzy, upbeat score of A Year with Frog and Toad bubbles with melody and wit, making it an inventive, exuberant and enchanting musical for the whole family. It is a perfect show to be performed by an ensemble group of actors and can be produced with either simple or extravagant staging and sets.

Can I add ensemble?

We're thinking of A Year of Frog and Toad for a high school drama program and we're wondering if additional moles, squirrels, and birds would be allowed to be added?

Frog & Toad cast w/females possible?

Hi! I'm wondering if it's possible to cast Frog and Toad with female cast members versus male cast members? Would it work vocally? Is it possible to get music transposed?
