The Tony-nominated musical
A Year with Frog and Toad has returned to where it began - the
Children's Theatre. It's been back a few times since its brief 2002 Broadway run and subsequent nominations, but this is my first time seeing it. Based on
Arnold Lobel's children's books about the friendship between a frog and a toad and
commissioned by his daughter Adrianne Lobel, whose original scenic design is used in this production,
Frog and Toad is an utterly charming musical. Like many shows at CTC, it's designed with children in mind, but its sweet and simple story is so clearly and entertainingly told that it's a joy for all to behold.
