Honestly, I thought I knew what I was getting into when I stepped foot into the Taft Theatre with my 7-year-old daughter, Eva. We were set and ready to experience The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati’s “Princess and Frog” on stage, so I thought. Watching it, I realized it wasn’t based on the Disney fairy tale “The Princess and the Frog,” it was based on the “Croaker – The Frog Prince Musical” which turned out to be a lovely surprise. It was new to me and new to Eva. Her cute smile and giggles made this sweet fairy tale classic even better.
The story line gives off a great message for kids – the importance of self-discovery, friendship and standing up to bad influence. All very important lessons for young kids to hear. I loved how TCT created its very own, fresh adaptation to this classic fairy tale which allows for more laughs and lots of “froggy” surprises. ! Eva, dressed up as a princess, couldn’t take her eyes off the stage, and even my almost 2-year-old, Catherine, was up and clapping with the audience in between set changes.
TCT knows how to tell a fantastic story, from beginning to end in a matter of 60-minutes; perfect for Littles who can’t stay still for very long.
I recommend signing up for a TCT Crown Club membership for character meet-and-greets, exclusive merchandise based on each show of the 22-23 MainStage Season, a lanyard with ID card and lots more (I have heard parents talking amongst themselves on how worth it the Crown Club is!)
