About Frogz
Frogz put Imago on the international map. The simplicity and the charm of the show catapulted the production to two Broadway runs at the acclaimed New Victory Theatre in 2000 and 2002.
The New York Times raved “A mastery of mime, dance and acrobatics.”
Since 1979, Imago has been creating transformative theatre that crosses boundaries traditionally associated with language, age and the physical realm. The company’s trademark style – which combines masks, dance and slapstick with witty social commentary on the human condition – is the direct result of more than 30 years of study, development and practice. Not easily pigeonholed, Imago has repeatedly proven unique in its ability to create both popular family-oriented fare as highly regarded as its critically acclaimed (and ambitious) productions for adults.
The Boston Globe says, “Rare theatrical event, a family-friendly entertainment, lively, inventive, remarkably acrobatic, mysterious, deeply satisfying, sensational, thrilling, hysterical, truly goofy fun … now that’s entertainment.”
