SEEKING:



FROG - male, confident, good-natured, the natural leader of the friendship,
able to accept life as it comes to him. Strong, charismatic lead role,
balancing both jazz numbers and ballads. Voice: light, pleasant baritone.
However, one song sits around high G# and A.



TOAD - male, anxious, neurotic, a tad awkward, but with a very big heart.
Manages to turn small incidents into ordeals by caring just a little too
much. Meaty comic lead role with LOTS of singing. Voice: Character voice,
but pleasant. Mid-range but also needs to be comfortable with high E on
staff.



MALE TRACK - plays the parts of Bird, Snail, Lizard, Father Frog, Large and
Terrible Frog and Mole. Almost ALWAYS on stage, very high energy, versatile
comic supporting role. Voice: Must be secure with tight harmonies. Rich,
bluesey, show-stopping middle but with a high G#.



FEMALE TRACK 1 - plays the parts of Bird, Turtle, Squirrel, Mother Frog and
Mole. Bossy, sarcastic, a bit of an instigator, versatile comic supporting
role. Voice: Must be secure with tight harmonies. Mid-range with a high A
as Mother Frog.



FEMALE TRACK 2 - plays the parts of Bird, Mouse, Squirrel, Young Frog and
Mole. Plucky, inquisitive, versatile comic supporting role. Voice: Must be
secure with tight harmonies. Alto with a low F up to a high F.
