About The Wind in the Willows

Originally commissioned by Main Street Theatre & Dance Alliance in 2019, this is the staged premiere of the original musical written by Jonathan and Kimbirdlee Fadner. This musical is a cleverly written and wildly raucous take on the beloved children’s classic. It brings to life the quirky characters of the original tale of “The Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Grahame. Pumped full of rockin’ music, this off-the-wall story will rekindle your love of humanity!
