A very kid-friendly musical: A Year with Frog & Toad at Savannah Children's TheatreWe checked out The Savannah Children’s Theatre  main-stage production of “A Year With Frog and Toad” this past weekend & fell in love.

This musical is truly a sweet & simple treat that children will love. It includes a variety of animal characters (mouse, turtle, lizard, birds plus a very funny snail) along with, of course, the stars of the show, the two great friends —  cheerful Frog & grumpy Toad.

Take your kids to see this cast of adults & youth bring to life this whimsical Broadway musical which follows Arnold Lobel’s well-loved Frog & Toad through four seasons.

The lively production includes a you’ll-want-to-buy-the-soundtrack score, performed live by the Savannah Children’s Theatre orchestra.

Seeing this fun show with your kids is the perfect way to start your summer.
