This amazing musical is coming to Vancouver! Following hot on the heels of two sold-out runs of Seussical, Arnold Lobel's well-loved characters hop, sing and dance their way from the page to the stage! Conceived by Mr. Lobel's daughter, Adrianne Lobel, A Year With Frog and Toad follows the cheerful and popular Frog, and the rather grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons.
Waking from hibernation in the spring, these two great friends proceed to plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding, and learn life lessons along the way, including a most important one about friendship and rejoicing in the attributes that make each of us different and special.
I love being a frog in the warm sunny summer,
But mostly I’m happy because I have you.

Please note: some very young children can find the live theatre experience overwhelming. There are lots of bright colours, movement, and sometimes it is darker in the theatre. We recommend that you have a discussion with your child in advance as to what they can expect when they come to see a play, so that they can benefit most from the experience. Ifyou have any questions about how to prepare your child, please give us a call.
