Austin parents are raving about A Year with Frog and Toad, a whimsical children’s musical which opened earlier this month at ZACH Theatre.
The production is absolutely lush. The set is colorful and beautifully built. It consists of two houses (one for each hopper). The houses spin to reflect both the outside and inside. The costumes are equally delightful. Set in a Vaudeville style, our friends Frog and Toad are dressed to the nines complete with high-button shoes. All of the costumes are so well done, and I was very impressed by the high production value. –Traci Shannon
…the actors were truly talented. Their acting, singing, and ability to capture the audience were stellar. We always felt like they were doing the show just for us. –Amy Salinas
Arnold Lobel’s well-loved characters hop from the page to the stage in this Tony-nominated musical, recommended for ages 3 and up. Follow two great friends waking from hibernation, planting gardens, raking leaves, sledding and learning life lessons along the way. Part vaudeville, part make believe, all charm, A Year With Frog and Toad tells the story of a friendship that endures, weathering all seasons.
Take the whole family to enjoy the show, weekends through November 29, 2014 on ZACH’s Kleberg Stage.
