A Year with Frog and Toad
Music by ROBERT REALE Book and Lyrics by WILLIE REALE Based on the books by ARNOLD LOBEL Directed by WHIT MacLAUGHLIN On the F. Otto Haas Stage March 4 - April 19, 2009 Jeffrey Coon (Frog) and Ben Dibble (Toad) return for a revival of one of the Arden's most celebrated productions in its history! Nominated for six Barrymore Awards for Excellence in Theatre and a Tony Award for Best Musical, this whimsical story features an unlikely friendship between a cheerful Frog and a rather grumpy Toad and the life lessons they learn during the four seasons of one year. Best enjoyed by families with children ages 5 and older.

Critical Acclaim– "Full of energy... smart, sweet and funny... clever costumes... magical lighting effects... the kids loved it... a pleasure for parents, too!" –Philadelphia Inquirer [Review] "Pitch-perfect harmonies and witty lyrics... the show really comes to life through Whit MacLaughlin's impeccable direction and flawless execution by its five actors. It's clear that these top-notch actors have put as much thought and energy into this performance as they put into any adult show. The Arden takes its children's theatre seriously. –The Bulletin [Review] "I cannot recommend enough that you take your kids to see A Year with Frog and Toad at the Arden. It is one of the funniest, most gentle and endearing kid's shows I've ever seen." –OWTK [Review] From Our Audience– "We loved Frog and Toad... the music is so good, we'd love to hear it again and again!" –Jeannette "Thank you and your talented & dedicated actors not just for a great performance (which we knew we would get from the Arden as always), but thank you for introducing us to the beauty and fun of theater with ASL. In one evening, you taught our daughters (and us) a great deal about the importance of creating arts accessibility to all. It was wonderful to sit in an audience full of Art-Reach members and share this experience together! Bravo! We raise and shake our hands in applause for you!" –The Wray Family "My son saw Frog and Toad with his school and will not stop talking about it!" –Judith |
