The Paramount Theater of Charlottesville

Based on Arnold Lobel’s beloved children’s books and featuring a hummable score by Robert and Willie Reale that bubbles with melody and wit, this whimsical musical follows two great friends — the cheerful, popular Frog and the curmudgeonly Toad — through four, fun-filled seasons, meeting new friends and learning life lessons along the way. The two best friends celebrate and rejoice in their differences that make them unique and special. Part vaudeville, part make believe, all charm, A Year With Frog And Toad tells the story of a friendship that endures, weathering all seasons.
