The Frog Prince
Victoria Bond
About this work:
Based on the familiar fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, this musical update portrays the frog as suave and jazzy and the Princess as a self-indulgent young girl who has to be taught the value of a promise. Commissioned by the Empire State Institute for the Performing Arts in Albany, it was written for Bob McGrath of Sesame Street . "A sophisticated score, effective in building tension and sharp-eared listeners will detect the interplay between themes." -Knickerbocker News Published by G. Schirmer
