'The Amazing Mr. Toad' Rufus Hound | The Wind In The Willows Musical

[@TheShowsMustGoOn]

Did you LOVE Wind in The Willows as much as we did? What was your favourite song?

[@SatansFire]

Taking Over The Hall, obviously.

[@selenamcmahan9234]

Were the wild wooders, a place to come back to, messin about in a boat, spring

[@katrinholcomb7805]

The hedgehog's nightmare, messing about in a boat, the open road and we're taking over the hall.

[@m_25333]

Messing about in the boat, Wild wooders and Mr Toad. The first half of songs are very catchy!

[@something5559]

The greatest great escape it's a great song.

[@emcustard]

The rabbit butler is honestly such an underrated side character. He's a delight to watch and really embodies the character in such a fun way

[@beef4869]

Same! Always love watching the ensemble actors in shows like this - he just clearly is having so much fun

[@selenamcmahan9234]

Thanks to this channel I have fallen in love with this show.....anyone else?

[@katrinholcomb7805]

Me too! Didn't know it existed before. 😄

[@huttmuttbutt]

Same!

[@phinox123]

It was so fun.

[@ESC-lover]

Me!!!!

[@lauratwinkle6420]

Love this musical so much. Wish they had it on more than 48 hours xxx

[@Ngamotu83]

I like the Animal Farm reference. "Four legs good. Four wheels bad." Lol.

[@stormmitchell2776]

Well Both books did mentioned about The Red Lion inn so Obviously both stories take place in the same timeline.

[@SatansFire]

I'm begging y'all to upload Taking Over The Hall because the acting was beautiful and I've been thinking about it all week....

[@somerjoel5552]

villain songs are always the best

[@Fox_sSspirit]

I agree and support your plea...um, Satan...

[@rachel-in-the-208]

YES! I agree

[@samkelman3101]

YES

[@iliketheatre517]

Please that was one of my favourite numbers!

[@m_25333]

I’ve never known the wind in the willows before this musical but completely fallen love the story! Thanks to the shows must go on sharing the musical, really nice of characters, design works and the songs!

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Mr Toad has such a wild ride at Disneyland

[@oliverwu1675]

The rides surprisingly good!

[@rachel-in-the-208]

It was always a favorite of mine!

[@mfitzburger5137]

Is it anything like Mr. Bone's Wild Ride? I've heard great things about it.

[@meg4322]

Please upload We're Taking Over The Hall as well!

[@ricemaster9171]

I love this musical! It was my first time watching it. I wish I could’ve had a permanent copy. Too bad we can only watch these for 48 hours

[@melliedearwolf]

Of all your musical uploads, The Wind In The Willows was - suprisingly, but definitly - my favourite

[@alfie6259]

Love this show!! ❤️

[@timetraveltvniles7650]

I love everything about Mr. Toad, he is my role model!

[@rachel-in-the-208]

You strive to be a narcissist with no real friends?

[@ESC-lover]

This was a great show!

[@apotatodisguisedasacat3237]

Please also put up "Messing About on a Boat" or "Speed is of the Essence" or "The Open Road" because they're really catchy songs (i even sing those at the bathroom 😂). Plus, I love everything about this musical. Thank you! 🎭

[@rachel-in-the-208]

Messing about on a boat ... a surprisingly great song!!

[@m_25333]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@lolorox7]

Thank you for uploading this song!!!! This show was sooo good!!

[@Anime_theatre_lover]

I did this show in 7th grade and it was my first musical. I’m a high school freshman now and I have so much nostalgia. I did Elf, 42nd street and Mary Poppins after that and now I’m doing Into the woods 🥲

[@johnyesjustjohn]

Mr. Toad: The leather's real... Me: ...Wait, you mean you're sitting on the skin of an animal, presumably executed, in a world where most animals are sentient beings able to sing songs? Mr. Toad: ...Poop poop!

[@verkaforever]

This looks such a fun role to play!

[@williamfairchild7439]

I do like the song The Amazing Mr Toad from The Wind in the Willows Musical and it's one of my favourites

[@elizabethd8109]

Could you possible put up "A place to come back to" or "Messin about in a boat"? I love those two.

[@emy1367]

I didn't know this show before but I loved it. So fun. Is it possible to put the "Spring" song here?

[@karinadarjuan5418]

I love this show so much, and it’s got some VERY catchy music and beautiful costume design. But the moral is pretty nasty. Mr Toad is a self destructive and egotistical addict who doesn’t care who he hurts, and who refuses to change, and he shouldn’t be celebrated at all. Ratty is 100% justified in not wanting to put up with him.

[@johnyesjustjohn]

If it helps, in the book he becomes “an altered Toad” and avoids self-praise and pays back everyone who helped him. Though in the Disney movie, he immediately becomes interested in airplanes next.

[@meghantrimble6120]

I agree! Near the end of the show, there was an opportunity for Toad to apologize for his behaviour and make amends, but it never happened. Instead everyone just accepted him because "a friend is still a friend". I want my kids to know that they are under no obligation to remain friends with someone if they don't want to. Especially someone as selfish, narcissistic and irresponsible as Toad! 😂

[@gordonmcknight8877]

Honestly! I loved his songs and portrayal, but I saw him as the villain the whole time. No redeeming qualities whatsoever! At least Ratty found a new, true friend in Mole through it all. Maybe that was really the point.

[@TED_Frames]

It’s not so much that he doesn’t care who he hurts, it’s more that he’s unaware of how much destruction he causes because of his childish sense of fun and his ego.

[@rickelvi]

Toad is just an annoying and arrogant aristocrat who doesn't care for anyone or anything besides himself and his obsessions. I hated him every second he was on screen. I legit thought the story would work better as a class warfare analogy with the foxes, weasels ans stoats taking Toad Hall. It felt so deserved when Toad was arrested, and not a bit satisfactory when they took Toad Hall back

[@TMcConnaughhay]

I wish I could order a copy of this musical!

[@bloodmoon0205]

You can watch it on BroadwayHD

[@SplittingProductions]

I found this musical to be very enjoyable surprise. Never heard of it before but it was pretty cute and the music was highly enjoyable. Favorite song: The Wild Wooders Honerable Mentions: A Friend Is Still A Friend, The Greatest Great Escape, and whatever the trial song was cuz I don't remember the name.

[@jamiemarais3397]

So sad I missed this! :( Hope it'll be on again!

[@littlekaro2005]

He is absolutely amazing, I love him❤

[@leahpagar]

I’m in this play!!

[@ariehsherman1284]

Please put on taking over the hall, spring, wild wooders

[@cookiexx9925]

I did wind in the willows at seven yrs old it was so much fun I loved it

[@Mustard_34]

[@DMCMT01]

Gutted I missed this Hope it happens again soon!

[@outtacontrol8387]

the lighting design tho.. woahhh

[@akiramiyashi]

Please upload the Wasailing Mice song!!

[@liamthenoguy]

I have to do a play about this show very soon.

[@sophielouisethornton2775]

Great actors really do take up there chactors really well who they really play.

[@SilkeH6]

That Fox News joke though 👌

[@gstone8255]

It`s Mr Toad , poop poop !

[@TED_Frames]

I’m surprised to see so many Anti-Toad comments. Mr Toad’s been a classic character for decades.

[@elcucy]

mr toad is child he makes unconscious decisions. i am a mr toad.

[@emcustard]

Great character, horrible role model! I love this song so much, but I can't help but wince when I think about how dangerous Toad's actions are

[@TED_Frames]

The fact that Toad gets jailed shows that he was never intended to be a role model.

[@swamp347]

This guy reminds me of me

[@rachel-in-the-208]

My condolences

[@iliketheatre517]

Grease Lightning but make it appropriate for children

[@SkippyJon15]

The Mr. toad character reminds me of Mr. wormwood from Matilda haha

[@vicentehizon6202]

I have a joke. Why are the hedgehogs complaining about speed? I know a hedgehog who doesn’t need a car in order to get somewhere in seconds *wink*wink*

[@muzicalzrlife6024]

If it helps to know, the song before this one is sung by the Hedgehog family as they are trying to cross a busy highway and nearly getting run over several times before giving up and heading back home. So they might be protesting against Toad driving so maniacally as for the safety of their family

[@vicentehizon6202]

@@muzicalzrlife6024 I know, but I was just trying to make a _Sonic the Hedgehog_ joke.

[@calvinwilkins6233]

If you could dress as any animal on stage for one show, what would it be? I'd probably be a rabbit.

[@classymans5848]

x2 speed

[@starojunes]

Why is he saying poop poop? Is that like a catchphrase he says or just a funny thing in the song?

[@hippyfriend]

It's what he says in the book as an onomatopoeic version of his car horn tooting. But yes, I'm sure they're aware of the double meaning

[@rachel-in-the-208]

I REALLY LIKED this musical ... but am I the only one who found Mr Toad EXTREMELY UNLIKEABLE?? What a narcissist!

[@gordonmcknight8877]

Nope! He's awful

[@rickelvi]

I know, right? I hated his character so much
