Adapted from the classic children’s novel by Kenneth Grahame,
THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS follows the story of the incorrigible Toad and his friends. Toad's need for adventure takes him to the Wide World where, indeed, an adventure awaits for him! The love that the animals share for their world and their friends is presented in this delightful musical for the whole family!
