The message of this new musical "The Frog Prince," is about how if you make a promise, you'd better keep it. "A Promise Is a Promise After All."
The character who sings it first will be the Frog Prince after he has been turned back into a Prince. Then the entire cast will sing it a second time with the Prince.
I usually have between 30-40 kids ages 5-12. Most of the younger kids really have to have easy-to-sing songs. That's double the reason for this song to be especially catchy. So, the chorus just has one phrase repeated over and over: "A promise is a promise, is a promise after all. A promise is a promise, is a promise after all."
I had my sister and niece read through the script for me the other day. They said it was so cute and funny. Of course, they are both experienced actors and they read the jokes in a very entertaining way. I just hope the comedy is accessible enough for the kids. They also suggested some funny sound effects. I hope I can work in all of this humorous stuff!
Oh, and they liked the songs, too.
Here's the first draft of an excerpt from "A Promise is a Promise After All." See if you can pick out the chorus.
