A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS Description, Charaters and Show Dates
Show Dates: January 29, 30, 31Ages: 7 to 14
All Roles Open.
Adapted from the three-time-Tony-nominated Broadway hit comes A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS. Based on Arnold Lobel's well-loved books,the jazzy, upbeat score bubbles with melody. Part vaudeville, part make-believe, and all charm, A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS tells the storyof a friendship that endures throughout the seasons.
This whimsical show follows two great friends - the cheerful, popular Frog, and the rather grumpy Toad - through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding, and learn life lessons along the way. Throughout theyear, two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special.
A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS is a great first choice for young performers, with plenty of ensemble roles, accessible music, and minimal setsand costumes.
Roles:
Frog - a friendly, confidant, positive, and caring character. He should always seem comfortable solving Toad's problems and reacting to Toad'straumas. (Gender: Any. Range: B3-D5)
Toad - a serious, irritable, self-conscious, yet oddly charismatic character. The friendship that he shares with Frog must appear loyal throughand through. (Gender: Any. Range: Bb3-D5)
Turtle - a "rabble-rouser" that loves to get the whole gang to tease Toad in fun. (Gender: Any. Range: B3-C5)
Mouse - always able to ask all the right questions, like a talk-show host, and full of fun. (Gender: Any. Range: B3-C5)
Lizard - definitely the most confused of the Turtle-Mouse-Lizard trio, but eventually joins in the fun. (Gender: Any. Range: B3-C5)
Snails - simply unflappable, delivering without fail "in the rain or sleet or snow." (Gender: Any. Range: C4-D5)
Birds - communicate the passage of time (seasons) and set the stage for the story to follow. (Gender: Any. Range: B3-D5)
Moles - should have expressive faces to convey the excitement in Down the Hill, as well as sincerity in their angelic solo Merry AlmostChristmas. (Gender: Any. Range: Bb3-D5)
Squirrels - full of mischief and should be comfortable moving, talking, and singing with squirrel-like qualities. (Gender: Any. Range: Bb3-C5)
