The Frog Prince
Scene 1. At the pond.
(The vain Prince walks near the pond.)
Prince: I’m the best-looking Prince in the planet. I’ve got the most beautiful ears, mouth, nose and
eyes nobody has ever seen. My hands, my arms and my legs are the strongest in the whole
world, but most important of all, I’ve got the prettiest crown anybody has ever wished for.
(The Prince plays with his crown and drops it into the pond.)
Prince: (Crying like a whimsical child.) Oh! My crown! My crown! I’ve lost my crown!
Uaaaaaahhh! Uaaaaaahhhhh! I want my crown back!
(An Old Lady enters, collecting herbs and plants.)
Old Lady: (Imitating the Prince.) Uaaaaaaaahhhh! Uaaaaaaahhh! I want my crown back! I want my
crown back!
Prince: (Frightened.) Who are you?
Old Lady: I’m an old lady.
Prince: And what are you doing?
Old Lady: I’m collecting herbs to eat. And you? Why are you crying?
Prince: I’m crying because… (He suddenly remembers why and cries again.) Uaaaahhhhhh! My
crown!
Old Lady: Stop crying!
Prince: Uaaaahhhhhhh!
Old Lady: Stop crying!
Prince: Uaaaaahhhhhhhh!!
Old Lady: Stop crying!!
Prince: (He stops crying.) And my crown? I want my crown back.
Old Lady: Where is your crown?
Prince: (Pointing at the pond.) There.
Old Lady: In front of the pond?
Prince: No.

The Frog Prince
Old Lady: Oh! Behind the pond?
Prince: Nooooo!
Old Lady: On the pond?
Prince: Nooooooooooo!
Old Lady: Then…where is it?
Prince: In the pond!
Old Lady: Oh! In the pond.
Prince: (Angry.) Yes! In, in, in.
Old Lady: Okay, okay, okay.
(The Prince starts crying again.)
Old Lady: Can I get it back…?
Prince: Who? You? Don’t make me laugh! Ha, ha, ha!
Old Lady: (Angrily.) If I bring it back to you, will you give me something as a reward?
Prince: I will give you anything you want.
(The Old Lady shakes her stick and the crown will appear “flying”, otherwise, it will be the Old Lady
herself who will dive into the pond and get it back.)
Old Lady: Here you are.
Prince: Oh! My crown! My crown!
(The Prince leaps around happily.)
Old Lady: Hey!
Prince: My beautiful crown.
Old Lady: Hey!!
Prince: I’m happy, I’m happy, happy, happy…
Old Lady: Hey you!!!
Prince: What do you want, old lady?
Old Lady: You promised me a wish.

The Frog Prince
Prince: That’s true. Ask me whatever you want.
Old Lady: I want you to give me a kiss.
Prince: You only want me to give you…a kiss!
Old Lady: Yes, a kiss.
Prince: Kiss you?
Old Lady: Yes, kiss me.
Prince: How disgusting! I would never kiss you, old witch.
(The Prince tries to leave but the Old Lady shakes her stick and paralyses him.)
Old Lady: You made fun of me just because I’m old and ugly. Now you’ll se!. Abracadabra… see how
this Prince will turn into a Frog! You will only be a Prince again when a Princess becomes
your friend and kisses you. Ha! Ha! Ha!
I’m a nasty frog
I feel sad, I am (feel) gloomy
I am crying for my crown
I feel sad, I’m unhappy
Since I’ve got an ugly body
Nasty, green and sticky body
I was a prince, beautiful prince
I rode my horse and clashed my sword,
But the witch, that old hag
Put a curse on me and now
I’m an ugly and nasty frog.

TRACK 11
The Frog Prince
Scene 2. At the pond.
(Low light, phosphorescent ball. The Princess plays with her ball in a juggling choreography ‘til she
drops the ball into the pond.)
(The Princess starts crying desperately. Suddenly the Frog appears behind the pond. He sees a fly
and eats it. As the Frog speaks, he croaks every now and then.)
Frog: Who is crying this way, and waking me up from my sweet dreams?
(The Princess cries even more helplessly.)
Frog: Hey! You!
(The Frog goes over to the Princess. At this point, the Princess turns back… so they never meet. This
happens repeatedly during the following dialogue.)
Princess: (Snivelling.) Who is speaking?
Frog: Me!
Princess: But where are you?
Frog: Here!
Princess: I can’t see you.
Frog: Here!!
(Suddenly the Princess turns and sees the Frog.)
Princess: Ahhhggggg! How ugly!
Frog: I’m a Frog and I can get your beautiful golden ball back.
Princess: What… ball…? (The Princess cries again helplessly.)
Frog: Stop, stop, stop… Stop!! I said I can help you.
Princess: (She stops crying.) Really? So, if you can help me, why don’t you go and get my beautiful
golden ball back?
6
The Frog Prince
Frog: I want something in exchange.
Princess: Ask me whatever you want, it will be yours. Do you want my dresses?
Frog: No, I want…
Princess: My pearls and my jewels.
Frog: No, what I want is…
Princess: I know…you want my beautiful golden crown.
Frog: Noooo! I don’t want your dresses, your pearls or your crown.
Princess: Ok! So…what do you want?
Frog: I want to be your friend. I want you to treat me with love. I want to eat from your little dish,
drink from your little glass and sleep in your little bed. If you promise me all of this, I will go
down the bottom of the pond and bring your beautiful golden ball back.
Princess: Great! I promise you whatever you want.
Frog: Hey! A promise is a promise.
Princess: Don’t you trust me? I’m a Princess.
Frog: All right.
(The Frog dives into the pond and the Princess addresses the audience.)
Princess: This Frog is talking nonsense. Frogs should be in the water like other animals. Frogs can’t
become a Princess’s friend.
(The Frog comes out of the pond with the ball and throws it into the air. The Princess catches it,
jumps and shouts in happiness as she goes running to the palace. The Frog tries to follow her but he
is slower and can’t keep up.)
Frog: Wait, wait, I can’t follow you. Wait!
(The Frog feels sad and starts his way to the palace.)
Frog: 7
(Jumping.) One, two, three…
The Frog Prince
Ten jumps
TRACK 12
One jump. A leap frog.
The princess went away but I need her kiss today
Two jumps. A leap frog.
I can’t run as fast as her, little by little
I’ll get there.
Three jumps. A leap frog,
The castle is on the hill, just the way through the trees.
Four jumps. A leap frog.
She promised me her friendship; she has to keep her word.
Five jumps. A leap frog.
In the castle I’ll find her and she’ll turn me into a prince.
Six jumps. A leap frog.
The witch enchanted me but true love will break the spell
Seven jumps. A leap frog.
I’m tired of being a frog; I’ll become a handsome prince.
Eight jumps. A leap frog.
As long as I have been a frog I’ve been dreaming of her love.
Nine jumps. A leap frog.
She’s pretty and she’s lovely, her magic love will save me.
Ten jumps. A leap frog.
I’m sure that she will kiss me and never again will I be a frog.
(This might be a good moment to introduce a song of the Frog and the numbers. Meanwhile the
stage gets ready for the following scene.)

The Frog Prince
Scene 3. In the palace.
(The Frog enters, counting his jumps.)
Frog: Nine hundred and ninety-eight, nine hundred and ninety-nine… and one thousand.
(The Frog stops and knocks on the door with all his energy.)
King: (Angrily.) Who is knocking on the door so late?
Frog: Princess, open the door. It’s me.
(The curious Princess runs and opens the door. On seeing the Frog she closes the door quickly and
goes back to the table, frightened and confused.)
King: What’s the matter, my dear daughter? Why are you shaking with fear?
(The Princess grimaces, trying to explain who was knocking on the door.)
Princess: It’s…it’s…
King: (Mocking.) Is it …a huge red dragon?
Princess: No!
King: Two fierce blue giants?
Princess: No!!
King: Three dangerous black spiders?
Princess: Noooooooo!!
King: You’re confusing me. I don’t understand.
Princess: It’s… it’s… it’s a frog.
(The King reacts pretending he’s frightened, as if the Frog was a monster, and then realizes the real
situation.)
King: 9
Ohhhhh! A frog! Help! Help! (And says to the Princess.) What did you say?
The Frog Prince
Princess: A green frog.
King: Oh! A frog… and why is a green frog knocking on my door?
(The Frog knocks on the door again…now with even more energy.)
Frog: Princess! Princess! It’s me! The Frog. And I’m here to make you keep your promise.
King: Which promise is that?
Princess: I… I…
King: Speak immediately.
Princess: (Muttering.) I promised we’d be friends.
King: What?
Princess: (A little louder.) I promised we’d be friends.
King: What????!!!!
Princess: (Speaking clearly now.) I promised we’d be friends!
King: But… then, why don’t you go and open the door?
Princess: Well, er…er…well…
King: If you made a promise, you must keep it. Go and open the door.
(The Frog knocks on the door again, and the Princess opens showing her displeasure. The Frog comes
into the palace looking happy and excited, jumping up and down everywhere, even jumping on the
King, who chuckles. Finally, the King and the Princess sit at the table.)
Frog: I also want to eat with you.
(The Princess pretends she didn’t hear the Frog, but as the King fixes his eyes on her, she stands up
and puts a stool next to the Frog.)
Frog: Can you lift me up?
(The Princess looks at the King and he nods his approval. So the Princess lifts the Frog up onto the
stool.)
(Whenever the Frog asks for something, the Princess complains and then the King nods his head
giving orders to the Princess.)
10
The Frog Prince
Frog: Will you pass me your little golden dish? I want to eat your food.
(The Princess passes it to him.)
Frog: Will you pass me your silver glass? I want to drink your water.
(The Princess passes it over.)
Frog: Will you pass me your beautiful yellow napkin? I want to wipe my mouth.
(The Princess passes it to him, reluctantly.)
Frog: Now that I’ve eaten so well and we are such good friends, we can go and have a rest
together.
Princess: Oh, no! Absolutely no! No and no!
(The Princess goes to her room and closes the door. The Frog gets sad because of the Princess’s
refusal.)
Open the door
TRACK 13
Hello princess,
Open the door.
Open to me.
I am your beloved (dear) frog.
King: My daughter, when you lost your beautiful golden ball, the Frog helped you, didn’t he?
Princess: Yes, of course he did.
King: And you promised you’d be friends, didn’t you?
Princess: Yes, of course I did…
King: So, now you must keep your promise.
11
The Frog Prince
(The Princess goes angrily feeling her pride has been hurt.)
King: What about your good night kiss?
(The Princess ignores him, as if she hasn’t heard a word. The Frog does try to kiss the King but he
dodges him.)
King: My daughter, you forget the Frog.
(The Princess picks the Frog up scornfully and takes him to her room.)
(Set change as the Princess sings her song.)
I am a princess
TRACK 14
I am a princess,
This is my crown.
I am waiting for my prince to come,
But I am in charge of this ugly frog.
I am a princess,
This is my crown,
I am waiting for my prince to come,
But maybe we will become very good friends.
Oh! I am silly!
Scene 4. The palace’s dining-room.
(As she is singing, the dining-room in the palace is transformed into the Princess’s bedroom.
When the stage change is over, the Frog’s complaints can be heard.)
12
The Frog Prince
Frog: (Off) Careful! Be careful! No! Ouch!
(The Frog jumping around.)
Frog: Ouch!
(Then the Princess comes in and kicks the Frog on his bottom. The Frog automatically jumps again
and ends up in a corner of the room.)
Princess: I will count to three and you will stay there, still and quiet.
(The Princess counts up to three while she is getting ready to go to bed.)
Princess: One… two and…
(The Frog complains.)
Frog: Croak, croak.
Princess: I said be quiet. One… two… and…
Frog: Croak, croak.
Princess: Be quiet! One… two… and…
Frog: Croak, croak and... croak.
Princess: Stop it!
(The Princess and the Frog complain to the audience almost simultaneously.)
Princess: It’s impossible to sleep this way.
Frog: It’s impossible to sleep this way.
Princess: I’m very tired…
Frog: I’m very tired…
Princess: …and because he’s such a bore…
Frog: …and because she’s such a bore…
Princess: I have an idea…
13
The Frog Prince
Frog: I have an idea…
Princess: I will close my eyes…I will cover my ears…
Frog: …and in her bed I will appear.
(The Frog jumps twice and gets up onto the bed.)
Princess: What you can’t see or hear doesn’t really exist. (Out of sight, out of mind.)
(The Princess feels her way around the room and approaches the bed. As she touches the Frog, she
opens her eyes and…)
Princess: Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Frog: Croaaaaaaaaaaak!
Princess: Get out of my bed immediately.
Frog: But…
Princess: Right now!
(The frightened Frog jumps of the bed, goes back to the corner and starts to cry.)
Frog: Croak…croak…croak…
Princess: Please will you let me sleep in peace?
Frog: If you want to sleep in peace…if you want to sleep in peace.
Princess: What?
Frog: If you want to sleep in peace…
Princess: Say what??????
Frog:
If you want to sleep in peace, you should do that thing people do before going to bed.
Princess: Should I wee-wee?
Frog: No.
(The Frog starts miming to give her clues.)
Princess: Ah, yes! I should tell a story.
Frog: Nooo.
14
The Frog Prince
Princess: Brush my teeth?
Frog: Noooooo!
Princess: So what???
Frog: (Patiently.) Before going to bed, the King, your father, gives you a…
Princess: Before going to bed, the King, your father…
Frog: No! Not my father…your father!
Princess: Of course…your father.
Frog: Not my father. Your father, the King!
Princess: Your father, the King…is the King your father?
Frog: No, the King is not my father.
Princess: Ah!
Frog: (More patiently.) Listen, before going to bed, the King… gives you a…
Princess: (Making an effort.) Before going to bed, the King gives you a…
Frog: Not me, you.
Princess: That’s it…you.
Frog: Noooo…you!
Princess: And what did I say? You didn’t?
Frog: Oh, it’s impossible! I’ll never get it.
Princess: I don’t understand.
Frog: It doesn’t matter, I will be a green frog my whole life…
(The Frog goes back to the corner.)
Princess: (Relieved.) So, can I go to bed now?
Frog: Yes, you can go to bed now.
(The Princess gets ready to sleep.)
Princess: Just a minute. I can’t go to bed unless dad gives me his good night kiss.
Frog: That’s it!
Princess: What???
Frog: That’s what I need.
Princess: Should my dad give you a good night kiss?
15
The Frog Prince
Frog: No, not the King. You, you!
Princess: (Extremely happy.) Now I understand. Shall I give you a good night… kiss?
Frog: Yes! Croak, croak, croak…
(The Frog jumps in happiness.)
Princess: You’re crazy! I’d never do a thing like that.
Frog: But…
Princess: Never, never and never.
(The Frog goes to the corner feeling heartbroken and cries desperately.)
Frog: Croak…croak…croak…
Princess: I won’t be able to sleep this way.
Frog: Croak…croak…croak…
Princess: Will you be quiet once and for all?
Frog: Croak…croak…croak…
Princess: Ok, it’s bed time!!
(Princess goes to sleep.)
(A mosquito enters in the room and tries to bite the Princess, she starts to shout and cry and then
the frog starts to fight against him and finally wins.)
(The Princess grateful kisses the frog. Suddenly, the Frog magically transforms into a Prince. At first
the Princess is quite frightened and doesn’t understand the transformation. She looks for the Frog.)
Princess: (To the Prince.) Hey, you! Where is the frog I was speaking to?
Prince: There isn’t any frog here.
(The Princess stops looking for the Frog everywhere.)
Princess: 16
Are you fooling me? Where did you hide him?
The Frog Prince
Prince: I didn’t hide any frog.
Princess: If you do any harm to him…just you wait and see.
Prince:
Why do you care so much for that frog?
Princess: Well…we were starting to become friends.
Prince: That frog is me.
Princess: Are you kidding?
Prince: You lost your ball in the pond.
Princess: I did.
Prince: You promised the Frog you’d be friends.
Princess: I did.
Prince: And you kissed the Frog.
Princess: Yes, I did…and how do you know all that?
Prince: Because I was the Frog.
Princess: It’s impossible, but you were… green and sticky.
Prince: Yes, I was the green Frog.
Princess: But… how? Why?
Scene 5. The Princess’s bedroom
(The King knocks on the bedroom door.)
King: My daughter, can I come in?
Princess: It’s my dad.
Prince: It’s your dad!
(The King comes in.)
King: My daughter, here you are…a cushion for the Frog. (He sees the Prince and gets
frightened.) Ahhhhhhhhhh!
Prince: Ahhhhhhhhhh!
Princess: Ahhhhhhhh!
17
The Frog Prince
King: (To the Prince.) You, who are you?
Princess: It’s a Prince…
Prince: I’m the Frog…
Princess: That’s it…the Frog…
Prince: Yes, a Prince…
Princess: Prince…
Prince: Frog…
King: Prince, Frog…Frog, Prince. You’re confusing me.
Prince: I was a Prince who was transformed into a Frog by a witch…
Princess: And I transformed the Frog into a Prince.
King: Witches, Princes, Frogs…?
Princess: Now we’re very good friends.
King: Oh, all of this makes me think of a song…
Princess: A song?
Prince: Which song?
King: Yes, that song…
(The show ends with the song.)
We are good friends
We are good friends,
To help each other is a very nice thing,
We are good friends,
Rain or snow, I’ll be close to you.
He was a frog,
My kiss transformed the frog into a prince.
I was a frog,
She loves me and we’ll forever be friends.
