NY trip questions

My family and I might be visiting NY at the end of august. This would be my second time to NY- on my previous trip I saw: Jersey Boys, The Color Purple, Grey Gardens and Les Mis. This time however my family is coming aswell, so we need to see 1 or 2 family orientated shows besides a couple that I want to see.

so far....
I want to see: Xanadu and Spring Awakening
Family shows: some ideas are: Lion King, A Chorus Line, Hairspray

01) Which do you guys think would be the best 2 family shows to see?

02) Are then any discount codes available to any of the shows I mentioned that are not on broadwaybox? (especially for the family shows)

03) Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I think A Chorus Line could either be seen as a family show, or a not so family friendly show, depending on the family. The language might be a problem if you're looking for family friendly.

Define the type of family...

I agree with Kringas on this, A Chorus Line might not suit some families.

Wicked, and take your chances on the lottery, is a good choice. Curtains, has some language issues, is not a bad family show.

Have a good time in the city.

thanks for the suggestions. how is the cast of lion king these days?

I actually just came back from New York, and I saw Legally Blonde and The Lion King. Both are great, lots of fun and really amazing in general, and, to answer your earlier question, the Lion King cast is great- Kissy Simmons (Nala) and Wallace Smith (Simba) are fantastic.

Go See Altar Boys off Broadway. Me and my teens loved it!!!

was hilarious. You can get tkts for $40
