The Frogs was originally produced by Yale Repertory Theatre, while Burt Shevelove was in his senior year. The production used Yale’s swimming pool and featured Meryl Streep in the Greek Chorus. It was viewed as a critical success, but was only occasionally revived over the next twenty years. In 2004, Nathan Lane revised and expanded the script, with seven additional songs written by Sondheim. This is the production that is now commonly performed and available for licensing.
