Stephen Sondheim and Burt Shevelove’s 'The Frogs' originally premiered in a legendary, site-specific 1974 production staged inside the Yale University gymnasium swimming pool, starring a young Meryl Streep and Sigourney Weaver in the ensemble. The whimsical musical comedy adapts Aristophanes’ ancient Greek satire to follow the god Dionysos on a subterranean odyssey to Hades to resurrect a master playwright, challenging modern society to confront its own intellectual apathy. Scored to an inventive choral orchestration featuring numbers like "Invocation and Instructions to the Audience," this baseline property remains an absolute favorite for Sondheim scholars.
