Bethel Summer Musical Auditions

Music by Robert Reale. Book and Lyrics by Willie Reale. Based on Arnold Lobel's beloved books, this whimsical show follows two friends -- friendly Frog and cranky Toad -- through spring, summer, fall and winter. Nominated for three Tony Awards, including Best Musical!

Come prepared to sing one chorus and verse of a musical theatre song and to read from the script. An accompanist will be provided, but please bring sheet music with accompaniment music, not just the verse line. A short dance combination will also be taught.
