A Year With Frog And Toad - Blog Posts

And again, on the eve of opening night for A Year with Frog and Toad, I find a second Frog and Toad related post, which, yet again, corresponds directly with a song from this show I’m in. 

Either the number of Frog and Toad things I’m running across on tumblr tonight is a sign, or this is some kind of Baader-Meinhof phenomenon specific to being in a certain show... Is there a theatrical version of that? Or maybe Baader-Meinhof isn’t the right term because I didn’t just learn about Frog and Toad, but it’s like that thing where one suddenly sees a thing everywhere just when it’s relevant. Is it a different type of cognitive bias, perhaps? Does anyone know the correct term for being in a play and then seeing things relevant to that play just before the show opens?

Like, I haven’t noticed any Frog and Toad-related content since I joined tumblr in November and the night before we open, I see two things. It’s crazy. Well, I guess I’ll call it good luck? 

But yeah, this one’s Frog’s solo. A very sweet little song. 

i just think this is so important and i think this is the greatest life lesson you could learn in your childhood, or at any age (from Frog and Toad by Arnold Lobel)

I’m currently in A Year with Frog and Toad (the musical) and seeing as we open tomorrow night I feel obligated to reblog this. The cookies song is so much fun (actually the whole musical is, but ‘Cookies’ is the pinnacle of the hyper five-year-old energy), and since we started rehearsing with real cookies I’m eating so many cookies in the name of theatre. It’s awesome :) 

Also the cookies song is going to be stuck in my head for the next 50 years. “Cookies cookies cookies cookies, we go cooky eating cookies! Maybe we should stop... let’s have moooore!”

adulthood is just a constant struggle of, “man, i want cookies for breakfast, but I also recognize this is a bad nutritional decision.  On the other hand, the only one who can stop me is me.  i know that fucker’s weaknesses.  i could totally take me in a fight.”
