The season begins November 17 - 18, 2007, when Arnold Lobel’s beloved characters hop from page to stage, as the hit Broadway family musical A Year with Frog and Toad comes to the Victoria Theatre. Follow those two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad, through four fun-filled seasons.  Nominated for three Tony Awards®, A Year with Frog and Toad is a bright, bouncy and altogether lovable show that celebrates friendship and the differences that make us each unique and special.
 
Holiday spirit is celebrated December 15 – 16, 2007, with The Littlest Light on the Christmas Tree, a timeless, magical and musical tale about two unforgettable friends - an abandoned, discarded Christmas bulb, afraid and alone, and an eight-year-old boy who finds him and takes him home. Based on the award-winning animated film, this heartwarming story of friendship and triumph over self-doubt is destined to become a holiday classic!
 
The weekend of January 26 - 27, 2008, it’s time to grab yesterday’s socks out of the hamper and get ready to rock! The Dirty Sock Funtime Band – as seen on “Jack’s Big Music Show” on Noggin® – delivers interactive concerts filled with catchy music, lively dance, clowning around and contagious excitement!  Fox News has called them “the first real rock band for kids” – their imaginative songs and high-energy, multi-genre concerts are winning over kids, parents and music critics alike!
 
Follow the Yellow Brick Road to a world of wonder and magic, March 15-16, 2008. The Wizard of Oz comes to the Victoria Theatre, re-imagined as an all-new family musical, featuring wonderful new songs. Join Dorothy, Toto, and all her friends for an American classic the whole family will enjoy!
 
Capping off the season is Lazer Vaudeville, April 12 – 13, 2008. With high-tech laser magic and the traditional arts of vaudeville, this show is complete with superlative juggling, black light illusion, acrobatics, zany comedy and audience participation. After seven months performing Off-Broadway in New York, Lazer Vaudeville comes to Dayton with a cast of extraordinary characters that will lead you on a journey through the imagination!
