A Year With Frog and Toad
, the off-Broadway turned on-Broadway
musical
based on the fabulous
children's
books by
Arnold Lobel
, borrows several of the short vignettes illustrated in
Lobel
's four books on the characters to describe a year in the life of
Frog
and
Toad
, from their springtime wake-up from hibernation all the way around to another springtime. For the most part, the
musical
works well, but it does flounder occasionally when it ventures away from the playful toward the overly dramatic operatic vibrato treatments from the musical leads,
Jay Goede
(
Frog
) and
Mark Lin-Baker
(
Toad
). Understanding that this dramatic style is necessary to convey an emotional message when presented on the stage makes the approach acceptable, but a bit heavy-handed when transferred to a recording where subtlety would be a much more effective route. Composers
Willie
and
Robert Reale
were inspired by
vaudeville
and
jazz
recordings from the '30s -- which
Lobel
's daughter,
Adrianne Lobel
, fondly recalled her father listening to while writing the stories -- to great effect. As a whole,
A Year With Frog and Toad
is an imaginative, fun, and well-paced companion to
Arnold Lobel
's creations, and no doubt is particularly engaging and inspiring when seen on the stage. ~ Gregory McIntosh, All Music Guide
