Question...#0

Okay, this may or may not be a stupid question, but here goes. My dad sometimes gets free Broadway tickets through his company and he happened to get some for Spelling Bee this Sunday. I was all excited until today when he e-mailed me to tell me that the producers made an announcement that they were only allowing people of age 18 and older to go to that particular show! Under 18-year-old ticketholders will not be allowed into the show, even if we have had these tickets for months. I'm 16 and a half, soon to be 17 and I find this unfair and totally random. Is this commonplace for Broadway shows? I've never once heard of this happening. Soo... anyone know what the deal is here?

It's going to be a performance for adults only...it's supposed to be raunchy, so they're not allowing kids under 18.

What the puck?!

Wait, they're changing this Sunday's performance? Is it a special occasion or something? Sorry if I sound like an idiot, I've just never heard of this happening before.

Aw man! That's kinda disappointing, as I planned somewhat of a birthday party type-thing for that night's performance. I guess they feel that people a year under 18 might not have the maturity to see the performance? Whatever.

Thanks for your help guys!
