Quick Casting Insight: A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS works best when Frog and Toad have strong chemistry, the Snails can deliver musical comedy with confidence, and the animal groups create distinct personalities through movement, singing, and expression.

Frog
Frog is friendly, confident, positive, and caring. This leading role requires a strong actor and singer who can stay calm and supportive while helping Toad through his worries and frustrations. When auditioning, pair different Frog and Toad hopefuls together to find the strongest chemistry.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: B3–D5

Toad
Toad is serious, irritable, self-conscious, and oddly charismatic. His friendship with Frog must feel loyal and genuine from the beginning. Cast one of your stronger students, someone who can sing well, act with humor and vulnerability, and bring this “tight yet quirky” friendship to life.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: Bb3–D5

Turtle
Turtle is a playful rabble-rouser who loves getting the group to tease Toad in good fun. This role needs a strong singer who can also handle comedy. Turtle works closely with Mouse and Lizard in “Getta Loada Toad,” so audition the trio together when possible.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: B3–C5

Mouse
Mouse asks all the right questions and has the energy of a tiny talk-show host. Mouse should have strong chemistry with Turtle because of their call-and-response dialogue and musical moments. This is a great role for a smaller performer with clear diction and lively personality.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: B3–C5

Lizard
Lizard is the most confused member of the Turtle, Mouse, and Lizard trio, but eventually joins in the fun. Cast a performer who can confidently sing the short solo and contribute as a strong actor and singer in the ensemble.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: B3–C5

Snails
The Snails are unflappable and determined to deliver the mail no matter what. They provide much of the show’s musical comedy, so cast performers who can sing with personality, confidence, and musical accuracy. Their singing entrances are some of the funniest moments in the show.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: C4–D5

Birds
The Birds communicate the passage of time and help set the stage for the story. These roles are great for performers with strong musical timing who can sell songs with personality and style. Have fun casting a variety of sizes and personalities in the bird family.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: B3–D5

Moles
The Moles should have expressive faces and strong choral singing. They bring excitement in “Down The Hill” and sincerity in “Merry Almost Christmas.” These performers do not need many lines, but a good vocal blend helps them stand out.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: Bb3–D5

Squirrels
The Squirrels are mischievous, quick, and full of personality. Cast performers who are comfortable moving, speaking, and singing with squirrel-like energy. Strong diction is important because “He’ll Never Know” is wordy, quick, and full of comic timing.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: Bb3–C5
