...twelve alternate as frogs, singing "koax-brek-kek-kek" in the river Styx, and as Dionysians, singing hymns. Sondheim's simple four-part melodies combine new lyrics with quotations from Aristophanes' original to provide enjoyable interludes. The singing, surprisingly strong for a student production, reverberates in the courtyard. The slight echo in the Fogg occasionally interferes with actor's speeches all other times, but during the musical numbers this mild echo swells the sound of the small group to a cathedral-like ring...
