Show synopsis:
Splash! Young Prince Noble is having a really bad
day – a smelly Gypsy woman is in love with him, he
gets pushed down a well, and then he’s transformed
into an icky green frog! Now instead of
traveling the land looking for a beautiful wife,he's
short, green, and hoping to catch a fly for dinner,
as he laments in the humorous song "Whenever I see
a Fly".
Will Prince Noble learn a lesson in humility and win
the lovely Princess Cassandra’s heart with the
beautiful ballad "How I
Love This Feeling?" Join us on October 10th and
watch as plots twist, stories intertwine, and all
the characters discover that
Happy Endings can happen when you least expect them!
Kaleidoscope Theatre’s Education Coordinator, Jamie
Dellorco recently interviewed two members of the
cast, Bob Macaux and
Emily Staples, about their experiences with “The
Frog Prince.” Bob and Emily play Prince Henry and
Princess Ariana in the show
and have done so for many years now.
Q: When did you first start performing in “The
Frog Prince”?
Bob: I began touring with this production in 2005.
Emily: I started in the summer of 2007 after I
performed as one
of the 3 good fairies in “Sleeping Beauty” the
summer before.
Q: What is your favorite thing about working on
this production?
Bob: I enjoy getting to perform in a musical and to
practicing my acting skills.
Emily: I like being a part of a team and getting to
work with
all the other actors.
Q: Do you have a favorite scene in the show?
Bob: I like the scene at the beginning when I harass
Anya, the Gypsy Queen, and she chases me off the
stage.
Emily: My favorite is when Prince Henry and I find
out that he is a prince so our characters can get
married after all!
Come see Bob and Emily’s favorite scenes and chose a
scene of your own on October 16th!
For audiences in Massachusetts – You can see this
wonderful production the previous week on Sunday,
October 10th.
