THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS is a rollicking, adventurous musical based on Kenneth Grahame’s beloved classic of children’s literature. With a book by Oscar-winning screenwriter and Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes and a charming, unforgettable score by Olivier Award-winning composers George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, this family-friendly musical brings the timeless story to life with humour, heart, and excitement.
This riotous comedy follows Mole, Rat, Badger, and the impulsive Mr. Toad, whose insatiable need for speed lands him in serious trouble. With his beloved home under threat from the notorious Chief Weasel and his gang of sinister Wild Wooders, Toad must attempt a daring escape leading to a series of misadventures and a heroic battle to recapture Toad Hall.
With its humour, wit, heartwarming lessons of friendship, and a gorgeous, soaring score, THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS is ideal for professional, community, school, or youth theatres and is the perfect fit for family audiences everywhere.
