It opens as our self- indulgent Grey Cat orphans a baby mouse when he makes lunch of her mother. Grey Cat, realizing the consequences of his actions, engages Uncle Rat, the most prominent creature at the pond, to care for her. She grows into a lovely, sheltered mouse, having been educated by Uncle in every subject except real life experience. As Uncle grows old he fears leaving her alone with no one to care for her so in secret, he solicits the help of his friend, Grey Cat, to find her a beau. Uncle's long lost nephew arrives, along with problems and growing turmoil as Miss Mousey has recently fallen in love with the pond's hero and swamp musician, the very charming, Froggy.
The story becomes entangled with spurned lovers, unrequited hearts, and a growing suspicion in Uncle's heart that meddling in love could prove disastrous. The colorful, supporting creatures bring humor, fun and gossip to the mix. The eighteen new songs that run from jazz to rockabilly to folk to torch will linger in the minds of the audience long after the lights go out.
Bring the family and sit back, as a new folk tale unfolds, enchanting and capturing the attention of new audiences.
