Sheringham Little Theatre's youth musical theatre group will perform the action-packed story originally penned by Kenneth Grahame in 1908 and turned into a modern musical by Julian Fellowes.
Co-director Michelle Thompson said: 'This is probably one of the first amateur productions of this version of Wind in the Willows and our young performers are very excited.'
Sheringham's Toad is 11-year-old James Shorten, from Barton Turf, a pupil at Broadland High School.
He said: 'This part is really fun to play – because of Toad's arrogant, show-off personality and his posh accent.'
