The Frogs

This Midwest premiere musical to be staged in the swimming pool adjacent to Pegasus Players mainstage, is Burt Shevelove, Nathan Lane & Stephen Sondheim’s adaptation of Aristophanes’ original The Frogs. In Aristophanes’ version, the play is largely a debate between Aeschylus and Euripides, to determine which man is the greater artist. The winner of the contest will return to Earth with Dionysus to save civilization. In this version, the plot remains much the same, but the contest is now a debate between Shakespeare and Shaw.
