Ballyhoo Theatre Mainstage will be presenting A Year With Frog and Toad, February 28-March 16, 2025. Auditions are open to those aged 18+

About the Show: A hit on Broadway, A Year with Frog and Toad was nominated for three Tony Awards – including Best Musical. Based on Arnold Lobel's well-loved books, and featuring a wonderful score by Robert and Willie Reale, this whimsical show follows two great friends – the cheerful Frog and the rather grumpy Toad – through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation in the Spring, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding and learn life lessons along the way. The two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special.  A Year with Frog and Toad tells the story of a friendship that endures throughout the seasons.

Audition information is attached.

A night dedicated to the roles we DIDN’T get to play! Passed over for that juicy 11 o’clock number? Not cast in your school musical when you were 9? Your show was canceled due to the pandemic? Come hear our performers dish the dirt on what happened, and finally get to sing that song! (Or, even join us as a performer!)
