What about Jersey Boys? I've been really wanting to see it! Any questionable content?

(Jersey Boys semi-spoilers): Greencup- fyi: there's quite a bit of language in JB (cursing, and sexual). There's also a 'shooting,' and a death via drug overdose (the o.d. is mostly talked about rather than seen, but the 'shooting' happens center stage, gunshot efx and all).
Telecharge says 'may be inappropriate for ages 12 and under (strong language),' while another site says ages 13 and under, so your sister'll probably be ok with it, but I would say again depending on the kid it could be moreso a boredom factor with the music, rather than the 'questionable content' in the show.

Sweeney is... hard to explain. :)

Seriously, though (Sweeney semi-spoilers):
the violence in Sweeney is...a little abstract, in that it's not as visual, not as in-your-face as someone gets cut, and then the fake blood starts flowing, or anything like that. But, you still 'know' when a person has been killed, and with the use of lights and whistles and such, it does still make it really creepy when someone is killed. So there's intensity, but I would say if your sister's seen shows before, and is mature for her age, she would probably really enjoy Sweeney.

Thanks Lorelai!

So I totally thought of this thread tonight: I saw Avenue Q again tonight, and there were a couple of 9-ish year old little girls in the audience. One of the girls was seeing it for the second time, and they seemed to be really enjoying it. So apparently to some kids Q's not as raunchy for kids as I thought it was.
