Synopsis
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 story of 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 the year, 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 sets and costumes.

The Transforming Power of Friendship
A Year with Frog and Toad Kids tells the beloved story of Frog and Toad, two friends who go through the ordinary triumphs and challenges of life together. Their story inspires us to think about what makes a good friend.
A friend loves at all times.
The book of Proverbs tells us that “a friend loves at all times” (Proverbs 17:17). Frog and Toad help us see what that kind of friendship looks like through every season of life.
Faithful friends care for one another. When Toad wishes he received mail, Frog quietly writes him a letter. When Toad discovers that Frog is not at home and instead finds a note saying he wants to be alone, Toad is concerned for his friend and goes to check on him. Together, they face temptations, like trying to resist a plate of cookies, and challenges, like attempting to get a kite to fly. They even have disagreements, yet they forgive one another and are reconciled.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
Frog and Toad show us the joy and strength of having a faithful friend, and they remind us what it means to be a faithful friend ourselves. Their friendship also points us to an even greater Friend. Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). Jesus demonstrated that love perfectly by laying down His life for us so that we might be called His friends. As we watch Frog and Toad faithfully love one another, we are invited to consider the faithful love of Christ and to ask how we, too, can love others with the same selfless and enduring friendship.
