Bridges of Madison County Question

For anybody who's seen the show-

I was offered free tickets to the show, and was wondering how appropriate it would be to take a 13 year old to. Are there any explicit sex scenes, or any scenes that would be uncomfortable seeing with a parent?

At its most explicit, the leading man takes off his shirt and the leading lady wears a slip.

If your 13-year-old can handle the idea of a housewife committing adultery and considering leaving her family, she will be fine. Whether she will actually enjoy it is another matter; there are two teenagers, the children of Francesca, but their parts are small (though funny).

The meditation on types of love (for family, for a partner, for a handsome stranger, for neighbors, etc.) may be too adult even for older teens to really enjoy. I saw HAIR at your daughters' age and was fine, but BRIDGES is actually quite a bit more sophisticated in its themes.

^^^ I don't recall a bubble-bath scene from the tour. I confess I am more apt to notice male nudity than female, but I can't even imagine how the bath scene would be staged, based on the set for the tour.

Well, that wasn't their question!

It has some really mature concepts in it that a 13 year old may not completely understand, but the music is gorgeous. I most certainly do not recall any nudity in the broadway production. I remember her getting out of the tub with a towel on, but I'm pretty positive that she wasn't nude.

Kelli's breasts were definitely briefly exposed in that scene.

I took two fourteen year old girls (one of them mine). I didn't find anything particularly concerning (other than the overall theme of adultery, of course). Neither girl liked the show very much, but it wasn't because of any sexual content.
