Something Rotten, Finding Neverland, Wicked, or even Phantom...Aladdin can never go wrong either

And I really don't see the appeal for tweens.  The daughters who are supposed to be young are played by older actresses. I would take them anywhere but there. All the kids surrounding me when I went looked bored to tears.

My 14 year old son loved it.  (Not saying I would have brought him at 11 however.)

I WOULDN'T recommend Something Rotten -- while I'm sure they've heard of Shakespeare, too much would likely be lost of them.  Much of the charm of the show comes from getting the Shakespearean references.  And, of course, not a great choice for folks without a big knowledge of musical theater.

We're not big fans of Wicked, believe it or not (can I say that here?!), so I'm thinking Tuck or Fiddler may be the best choices, based on all your suggestions. I personally would kill to see Laura Benanti in She Loves Me but I have the feeling it may be too slow for 11-year-olds. :) Thanks again!

 

People are suggesting Wicked. She said they are not Wicked fans.
