The Frogs
A Comedy Written in 405BC by Aristophanes
Freely Adapted by Burt Shevelove
Even More Freely Adapted by Nathan Lane
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
The biggest joy. Sondheim's expert wit with a truly wild story and an incredible cast and team. I'm always drawn to 'problem' shows and this piece has it's challenges but is so rewarding to work on. The message of great art being able to heal a broken world rings true in the current political climate and we have 8 minutes of dancing frogs on top of that. Bliss!
