Marriott Theatre for Young Audiences Presents A Year With Frog and Toad

Marriott Theatre for Young Audiences, 10 Marriott Drive, Lincolnshire, presents its next delightful adventure with the musical A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD, based on Arnold Lobel’s beloved children’s books. Filled with warmth, humor, and timeless lessons about friendship, this charming production will enchant theatregoers of all ages, running July 10 through August 9, with the press opening on Saturday, July 18 at 10 a.m. The 60-minute musical journey is directed and choreographed by Elizabeth Romero, with musical direction by Jeff Award Winner, Ryan Nelson. Each performance will be followed by a question‑and‑answer session with the cast.

"I believe Frog & Toad is a story about the adventure of friendship - the way it can simultaneously evolve each day, yet remain steadfast through the test of time. As the seasons change, so do we as individuals - we grow, we learn, we face challenges, we overcome fears, and hopefully develop into the best versions of ourselves,” said Director & Choreographer Elizabeth Romero. “But for all we change, having a constant friend by our side to share in the trials and achievements, makes the journey all the sweeter. I hope this show can help remind us of the beauty of friendship and demonstrate the importance of sharing kindness and respect with others. After all, joy among friends and family is meant to be shared year round!"

This production of A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD stars Karl Hamilton as “Toad,” Jason Richards as “Frog," Marta Bady as “Turtle,” Sunnie Eraso as “Mouse,” Tommy Rivera-Vega as “Snail.” Understudies include Abraham Dietz-Green, Teddy Gales (“Toad” beginning July 31), and Teah Kiang Mirabelli.
