Catch Me If You Can Appropriateness

My family is planning on taking a trip to Seattle and we would really like to see CMIYC. While it hasn't opened yet, based on the movie do you think it would be appropriate for a 10 year old. I know there is a graphic scene in the film but it could be toned down for the show.

Your Thoughts?

Just because the same creative team is working on CMIYC why would you think it would be similar to Hairspray? It is a totally different subject matter.

If you want to know whether you can take a tween or teen to the show, call the theater.

On the link it states the parental guidelines for this show, listing it as a PG13.
Based on what I see here, I'd take my ten-year-old sister, but it's really your call. I tend to take my sister to stuff that's a bit mature for her age only because she can appreciate it, I guess. Also keep in mind that this show is probably not going to be geared towards kids in general, so I'd be more worried about taking your kid to something they'd be bored at.

My sister is very mature for her age and she has appreciated musicals such as Gypsy and Phantom of the Opera. I am going to call the theatre to make sure.

The 5th Avenue website is pretty good about putting on a "rating" for the show if you go onto their webpage, go onto their main list of shows for the season, and then click "more info" for the show. It's right after the show description.

The 5th Avenue is listing the Catch Me If You Can "PG-13":
