FROM THE PRESS
"Hot Damn! It's The Loveland Frog is what's going on - smart and funny, amiable and high energy." - River City News
"There's a lot to love about this little gem of a musical. Let's start with Mike Hall and Joshua Steele, the talented playwrights and songwriters who have crafted a riotously funny but infectiously endearing tale... a joy from start to finish." - Citybeat Cincinnati
"The sold-out opening night audience laughed out loud through the entire production... great bits peppered throughout the show... THE LOVELAND FROG will make you hoot and holler with laughter."
