Ballet Under the Stars
The Bayou Princess and the Frog
Set in 1920’s New Orleans, The Bayou Princess and the Frog is the story of a hardworking waitress named Tiana who dreams of owning her own restaurant. After kissing a prince who has been turned into a frog by an evil witch doctor, Tiana becomes a frog herself and must find a way to turn back into a human before it is too late. The pair hop along through the bayou, seeking help from new friends along the way. Join Twin City Ballet as we explore their adventures. This production is filled with New Orleans style jazz music, lively dancing and beautiful costumes. It is guaranteed to capture the eye of all that attend. Come along as TCB explores the sites, sounds and traits of New Orleans!
