Coming Up: A Year with Frog and Toad


If you love the Frog and Toad books, you'll want to check out A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD, produced by Bay Area Children’s Theatre in Berkeley.        
In the show, you'll welcome spring with outgoing Frog and his reserved pal, Toad, as they awaken from a long winter’s sleep, plant a garden, discover that “toad looks funny in a bathing suit,” rake crunchy autumn leaves, and take a scary winter sled ride—all the while singing up a storm, launching their own version of “snail mail,” and learning what it means to have patience, compassion, loyalty, and love.


The show is based on the classic children’s Frog and Toad books by Arnold Lobel, with music by Robert Reale and book and lyrics by Willie Reale. It made its debut in children’s theatre before moving to Broadway and being nominated for three 2003 Tony awards, including Best Musical.
