Brief
Synopsis:
Arnold Lobel's well-loved characters hop from the page to the stage in Robert
and Willie Reale's musical A Year With Frog And Toad. Conceived by Mr. Lobel's
daughter, Adrianne Lobel, A Year With Frog And Toad 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. Waking
from hibernation in the spring, they proceed to plant gardens, swim, rake
leaves and go sledding, learning 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.

Toad
(Male): A worry “wart”, sensitive, anxious. Best friend of Frog.
