About Croak!
It's summertime in the garden! Flowers are blooming, insects are buzzing and the pond is alive with croaking, but Speedy the tadpole is sad because he can't sing along with the froggy chorus. One day, however, something seems to be happening to Speedy – he's changing...
This delightful new musical explores the life cycle of a frog through five catchy songs and three instrumental tracks. With a simple script and a positive message, Croak! is perfect for ages 3-7, so join Speedy and his friends and learn that we can all do something if we really try!
The script has small speaking parts and lots of narration suitable for adults or older children and the five songs are catchy and fun to sing, making this production perfect for Early Years and Infants.
Available with Words on Screen™ allowing you to display song lyrics on any whiteboard, computer screen, television or interactive touchscreen. The lyrics synchronize with the music as it plays making them easy to teach and easy to learn!
An Annual Performance Licence is required to perform this musical.
An editable script is available for this product when you purchase a package that includes an eSongbook.
There are seven speaking parts and two group-speaking parts (the frogs and insects/flowers say several lines in unison). However, these speaking parts can easily be increased by splitting the narrator's part into lots of small speaking parts.
(Total length of music: 12 minutes approx)

Absolutely brilliant!
An absolutely brilliant musical for the whole school. Our school loved the catchy songs and simple script. The musical can either be integrated, as we did into an Easter service or be used as a stand alone performance. Would highly recommend.
