Only you know your mom. What would she like?

For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I don't know about the relationship that you and your mom have, but the thought of going to see Spring Awakening with my mom makes me ill. All of myManCape's suggestions are good.

Drowsy Chaperone is a safe bet. The show’s hilarious and frequently on TDF/TKTS. I went with my parents the last time there were here and they loved it.

Drowsy was my first thought. My mommy thought it was swell.

I would also agree with Jersey Boys! Have a wonderful time together!

Not sure if she'd like LEGALLY BLONDE, but my mom did.
HAIRSPRAY is also a good one to see with your parents.
MARY POPPINS, too, though I didn't like it, but my parents did.

I took my 52 year old mom and her 65 year old cousin to see Spring Awakening and they both loved it.

Honestly, if she's never seen it you should see Phantom of the Opera...a classic, one of the greatest shows, excellent, and who knows how much longer it will last.
