The musical follows Frog and Toad through four colorful seasons, from hibernation to hibernation. Frog and Toad, along with their playful, quirky friends Snail, Turtle, the Birds, and more, enact many adventures, from rushing down a hill in a runaway sled in the winter, to taking a picnic and a quiet moment in the summer. The joyful vignettes of A Year With Frog and Toad, feature catchy tunes, funny dialogue, and bright, memorable characters.
