Book and Lyrics by Willie Reale
Music by Robert Reale
Based on the books by Arnold Lobel

A hit on Broadway, A Year with Frog and Toad was nominated for three Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Based on Arnold Lobel’s well-loved books, and featuring a hummable score by Robert and Willie Reale, this whimsical show follows two great friends – the cheerful, popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad – through four fun-filled seasons.

Waking from hibernation in the Spring, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding and learn life lessons along the way. The two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special. Part vaudeville, part make-believe, and all charm, A Year with Frog and Toad tells the story of a friendship that endures throughout the seasons.

The jazzy, upbeat score of A Year with Frog and Toad bubbles with melody and wit, making it an inventive, exuberant and enchanting musical, perfect for introducing theatre to youngsters while keeping adults entertained, as well.

By John Davies
Based on The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi with scenes from operas by W.A. Mozart, G. Donizetti, J. Offenbach, and G.B. Pergolesi

Magik Theatre & OPERA San Antonio present John Davies’ Pinocchio, a one-act opera for young audiences based on Carlo Collodi’s literary classic, featuring music from operas by Mozart, Donizetti, Offenbach, and Pergolesi.

One of the most beloved characters in children’s literature takes center stage in this magical re-telling which blends opera and theatrical staging. Pinocchio captures the childlike curiosity in all of us, as he navigates an unknown and complicated world. When persuaded by the mischievous duo, Wolf and Cat, Pinocchio disobeys his father Gepetto and skips school. Of course, his journey is met by the notorious Dr. Dulcamara, a loathsome puppeteer, and his mechanical doll Olympia. Through a series of adventures, Pinocchio learns the harsh reality that every untruth comes with real-world consequences, the importance of sharing the truth with trusted grownups, and ultimately, the meaning of family. Your favorite wooden marionette comes alive for 3-weekends only in this age-old story of truthfulness, bravery and heart! San Antonio’s not-to-miss artistic collaboration of 2027.

Frequently cited as the most popular children’s book of all-time, Charlotte’s Web returns to the Magik stage with Joseph Robinette’s acclaimed adaptation of E.B. White’s beloved novel!

This beautiful, knowing play about friendship will warm your heart and your spirits!
