Oi Frog and Friends!, Lyric Theatre

As a parent, you will read hundreds of picture books. Out loud. So the ones that get it so, so right quickly become firm favourites.

Kes Gray and Jim Field's best-selling Oi Frog! is one that ticks every box: it's funny, it's captivating, it's educational and it's the kind of book you can easily read 100 times in a row with a smile on your face.

So get Nov 29 in your diaries: Oi Frog and Friends! is coming to the Lyric Theatre, with original songs, puppets and rhymes aplenty.

The story follows Frog, Cat and Dog, students at Sittingbottom School. Frog is looking for somewhere to sit, but Cat has a very particular set of rules about who's allowed to sit where ("Cats sit on mats, gophers sit on sofas, frogs sit on logs...").

The musical has been created for the stage by Emma Earle, Zoe Squire, Luke Bateman and Richy Hughes, courtesy of Kenny Wax Family Entertainment.

Now, what rhymes with: "We need to go book this immediately?" (Coincidentally, you can get an Early Frog ticket reduction offer if you book before June 14; tix will be £14.50). The show is suitable for ages 3+ and has a running time of 55 minutes.
