*The Play:*
>From the writers behind A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM
comes the hilarious send up of Greek comedy and satire. *THE FROGS, *loosely
based on Aristophanes’ 405 BCE original, stays true to its heritage,
mixing Aristophanic pratfall satire with a Sondheim score that swings from
witty to pretty to rambunctious. But it also mirrors the Greek original for
the serious issue of the role of the arts in a world beset by war and
folly. This musical is a deceptively witty musical ideal for all ages and
political groups.
