A Year with Frog and Toad, presented by William & Mary Theatre
2024-04-25 - 2024-04-28 | Phi Beta Kappa Memorial Hall, 601 Jamestown Road, Williamsburg, VA, 23185, United States
William & Mary Theatre is please to announce it’s final production of the 2023-2024 season, A Year with Frog and Toad, music by Robert Reale with book and lyrics by Willie Reale, and directed by Dana Margulies.
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, 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 bubbles with melody and wit, making it an inventive, exuberant and enchanting musical for the whole family.
Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
April 25-28, 2024
7:30pm Thursday – Friday, 2:00pm Saturday – Sunday
Tickets: $18 Adults, $12 Students/Children
