There is no nudity.

I wouldn't call the violence more extreme than anything your kid is watching on TV, only this is right onstage before them in a small theatre.

There is sexual stuff that is probably not appropriate.

If your kid is going to see Idina, she might be surprised to be hit with an extremely intellectual, sophisticated musical that will most likely go over your kid’s head.

It’s more adult than most musicals. There is no similarity to Wicked. Idina doesn’t even belt most of the show.

It is most decidedly an adult musical.

There is also some profanity, both in the lyrics and the dialogue. But no nudity, though there is some simulated sex.

Not for a 13 year old. There is a rape scene.

I really love the cast recordings of Marie Christine and The Wild Party...really looking forward to this. I will be there this Saturday night.

Jeffrey2: from what people are saying, it sounds like this is not appropriate for a 13 year old

I can't wait. Does anyone know if there is a stage door at the Public Theatre?

It's in the same theater as The Normal Heart was, the actors are basically on the floor and the seats surround them on three sides. Last night I sat in the second to last seat on the extreme stage right side. There were a few times when certain actors had their backs to me, but as long as you are not behind a column you are basically ok. Though there is red material used in the prologues to both acts that seem as though they might somewhat obstruct the views of some people on the extreme sides of the first couple of rows.

I hope that made sense...

I would say it's not appropriate for a 13-year-old, unless she's very mature for her age...

I read she did on the first night of previews for a few minutes, but have no idea about the other nights.

I heard she was swept away to her taxi buy security the second night.

I'm going friday night too, and definitely waiting. I'm sure it'll depend from night to night, though....some night may be a little too chaotic for her to sign without getting ...pounced.

*crosses fingers* Do come out this Saturday matinee Idina. Less than 48 hours for me. EEEEEEEE! I get to see Idina do something other than defy gravity. Whooooo.

I'm wondering if she even comes out after matinees...she didn't for Wicked, and most actors with larger roles in shows stay in the theatre in between shows.

Idina said on her own homepage that 'this was not a show for her younger fans'.

I sincerely hope she comes out after the matinee, but I hope it does not turn in to the Cary Shields fiasco where my friend had me wait until he woke up from his nap. I hope Idina doesn't nap, and needs to run out for something, or feels the need to sign things and talk to people in the lobby. <3 Except in this scenario I'll be the one that is insistant that we stay.

Nevertheless, seeing Idina live will be enough, but seeing her yet again after the show would be like the mocha affogato in my iced coffee, not necessary but a really damn good buzz.

Is there a particular part of the lobby I should focus on?

Marlene- the lobby isn't that huge. There's no way you'll miss her coming out, if she does.

Marlene, she's said before that she doesn't like to sleep in between shows.
