Hi, I'm Lenny, and I'm 9 years old. Hi, my name is Evangeline. I'm 10 years old
0:25
Hi, I'm Tess Murphy. I'm 8 years old. I'm about to watch The Wind and the Willows on Broadway G
0:31
and I know what it's all about. See ya! -♪ Hey! I need more speed! ��
0:37
-♪ It's time! ♪ The Wind and the Willows is based on a novel by Kenneth Graham
0:44
Wind and the Willows is a wild, thrill-seeking tale that follows Mole, Rat, Badger, and the impulsive Mr. Toad
0:52
Mr. Toad's need for speed lands him in serious trouble. He finds himself in jail
0:57
and Toad Hall is captured by a gang of mischievous wild wolves
1:01
Luckily, his loyal friends are determined to save the day and help Toad change his wild ways
1:07
But does he? My favorite character in The Wind and the Willows is Mr. Mole
1:14
because he's always very positive, and even if something goes wrong, he still thinks on the bright side of things
1:23
My favorite character was Rat. Rat has the most common sense and tries to guide his friends
1:28
even though no one seems to listen to him. He has a dry sense of humor but a big heart
1:33
My favorite character in the show is... Mr. Toad. Because I love Mr. Toad because he is a very funny and silly character
1:46
and I like when he says, poop, poop. My favorite song in the show was Taking Over the Halls
1:53
This song was performed by the villainous Wildwooders. It was upbeat, jazzy, and included a big dance number
2:00
I thought that it was the catchiest song in the show. My favorite song in The Wind and the Willows is the Waspling Mice
2:07
because it's a beautiful song and a wonderful melody. It shows how the Waspling Mice go to Mr. Mole's house every year at wintertime
2:16
and Mr. Mole gives them food. So it just shows how nice Mr. Mole really is
2:22
And the Waspling Mice are just really cute. If I would be an animal for a day, I would be a dog
2:33
because it's very cute, playful, and energetic. If I could be any animal for a day, I would want to be a bird
2:40
so I could fly anywhere I wanted to. If I could be an animal for the day, I would be a Norah
2:47
because I could swim through the sea, and I'd be friends with all the sea animals
2:54
like the sea lions, the dolphins, and the mermaids. And I would pop up to land, and hopefully someone would see me
3:02
and play ring toss with me. And maybe someone has to throw me a donut so I could catch it and eat it
3:11
And basically, I'd be the unicorn of the sea. I absolutely loved watching a show this way
3:20
If I could, I would watch as many shows as I could like this. I loved watching The Winds and the Willows on Broadway HD
3:27
because I got to watch it in the comfort of my own home
3:31
in a blanket all cuddled up, in my PJs. Also, if you need to go to the bathroom or grab a snack
3:39
you don't have to wait until intermission. You can just hit the pause button
3:43
Even though I love watching live theater and the actresses and the actors and the special effects
3:50
this is a really good way to see shows all around the world
3:55
because The Winds and the Willows was in London, which is kind of far away
4:02
I think that other kids, especially younger ones, would enjoy this show
4:06
It was adventurous, funny, fast-paced. The costumes and sets were very whimsical, and it was visually beautiful
4:13
It was very fun and adventurous. It was, like, amazing. I think kids and adults would like this story
4:24
And they have really cool singing and dancing skills that just blow me away
4:31
And they have a lot of cool stunts. You can see more shows like The Winds and the Willows by subscribing to Broadway HD
