A hit on Broadway, A Year With Frog and Toad was nominated for three Tony Awards®, including Best Musical, and has just begun its tour across North America. Arnold Lobel’s beloved characters hop from the page to the stage in Robert and Willie Reale’s musical. Developed by Mr. Lobel’s daughter, Adrianne Lobel, the stage musical remains true to the spirit of the original stories as it follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad, through four fun-filled seasons. Along the way, they learn life lessons including a most important one about friendship and rejoicing in the attributes that make each of us different and special.
