Zog

Zog by Stimson book and songs], Otheim score] and Snead book] is a two-act musical comedy, at times zany and antic, with moments of genuine sweetness. Meant for a small stage and seven-person cast, rounded out by an expandable chorus, this fractured fairy tale easily travels, and plays to both family and general audiences. Zog, a spellbound prince living as a frog in a polluted bog, makes a bet with a spoiled princess. Befriended by a jester, chased by cooks, and finally transformed by true love's kiss, he learns the value of environmental responsibility and consideration for others. Written in the style of Once Upon a mattress, Honk , and Peter Pan, the show has a ninety minute run time with an upbeat, feel-good ending.
