A Year with Frog and Toad

For The Lorraine Kimsa Theatre For Young People

A Year With Frog and Toad

“Have you been longing to see an old-school Christmas musical? One with tuneful songs, witty lyrics and unabashed sentiment?  Then get yourself and your kids down to the Lorraine Kimsa Theatre for Young People, where A Year With Frog and Toad opened on Thursday.

This musical by Robert and Willie Reale, based on the beloved books by Arnold Lobel, is a reminder of a kinder, gentler time, both in our lives and in family entertainment…..From my own personal perspective, I think it’s worth the price of admission for any adult, even without children, to see Louise Pitre, as Toad, delivering a performance that proves this massively talented artist can do much more than belt out tragic love songs….”

- Richard Ouzounian

” ….enriched at every turn by associate director and choreographer Jen Shuber and the musical direction of Diane Leah. Thanks to them, this particular jewel has a lovely setting that shows off its simple sparkle at every turn. But the thing that finally makes this production soar is the casting, perfectly achieved right down to the smallest role. ….It may only last an hour, but rest assured this is one year you — and your child, if you have one, or even if you rent one — will likely remember forever.” – John Coulbourn

“It may or may not be easy being green, but the results are certainly good to watch. A show that hinges on, and illustrates, the turn of the seasons connects to the roots of storytelling.”
