Around the Pond in 80 Days cover

Can Phileas Frog (aided by his faithful friend Pass) get round the pond in eighty days? He'd better, because he's wagered his boss, Fink, that he can - the stake being Phil's luxury lily pad. Phil plays fair to win the bet, but Fink doesn't, sending the devious snake Fix along with Phil to betray him. Travelling by foot, boat and balloon, meeting dragonflies, toads, sticklebacks, newts and water rats, the intrepid adventurers face many trials and make lots of new friends, not least the beautiful Princess Phoebe. Catchy songs, imaginative staging opportunities and numerous excellent frog jokes make this likeable, joyful musical a feast of fun for actors and audiences alike.
