Arnold Lobel's beloved characters hop from the page to the stage in this delightful Broadway musical. Developed by Mr. Lobel's daughter, Adrianne Lobel, the stage musical remains true to the spirit of the original stories as it follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation in the spring, they proceed to plant gardens, swim, rake leaves and go sledding, learning life lessons along the way, including a most important one about friendship and rejoicing in the attributes that make each of us different and special. We're happy to bring this musical which was nominated for 3 Tony Awards including Best Musical!

Stanley Lambchop is your normal, every day, run-of-the-mill kid. He's nothing out of the ordinary. But one night while he's sleeping, the bulletin board on the wall above his bed comes loose and falls - right on top of Stanley! And the next morning, Stanley Lambchop wakes up flat! At first it's not so bad. He can slide under locked doors. His friends fly him like a kite. And Stanley is the best in his class at Hide-and-Seek. But someone has to do something and that someone is Stanley! If he has to be flat, at least he is going to make the best of it. Stanley is going to put himself in a big envelope and travel the world - as a human letter! And the adventure begins! In a whirlwind musical travelogue, Stanley - the ultimate pen pal - scours the globe for a solution to his unusual problem. He's stamped, posted and cancelled from South Africa to Mexico , from Russia to England to China and beyond. And wherever Stanley Lambchop goes, he meets new friends, learns about different cultures and closes in on his goal of being a three-dimensional boy once more.
