The Frogs
Tour synopsis, cast & creatives
Can art save civilization? Let's find out! Shaken by a divided and despairing political climate (sound familiar?), Dionysos and trusty sidekick Xanthias take a leap of faith - straight into Hades. Their mission? Find a cure for an ailing world. But when they reach the River Styx, they encounter Dionysos' worst nightmare... frogs. Not your average pond dwellers, these amphibians are stubborn beings who resist change and are determined for the status quo to remain the same (sound familiar?) Will our dynamic duo outsmart these swampy naysayers and hop toward humanity's salvation? Or will they get bogged down in their muddy resistance? This is an ancient tale retold as a laugh-a-minute musical comedy. From the writing team behind 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum' and Broadway legend Nathan Lane, 'The Frogs' promises a toad-ally unforgettable journey.
