“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." From Music Theatre International.
This is a fun family friendly musical - so get those tickets!
Shows:
Thursday and Friday, April 25-26 at 7:30pm
Saturday and Sunday, April 27-28 at 2pm More Info
