Show for a ten-year-old boy

[o.0]

We're going to New York soon, and we're looking to see a show, but we need something that will entertain him and is age appropriate. Any ideas? He's already seen Wicked and the Lion King. He also saw part of Phantom of the Opera on video and hated it.

Any ideas?

DRS for a ten year old? Maybe Hairspray.

Beauty and the Beast and Tarzan might work. If he's not into Disney all that much, try Spelling Bee or Hairspray.

Do you think Wedding Singer is appropriate? I don't really think so, but that's the only one he really seems to like the songs to.

My unfortunate Erection sat anything to you?

[gavrochegirl]

Posted: 7/6/06 at 9:55pm

Well, I think it'll go over his head. It's not that bad.

[NathanLaneStalker]

Posted: 7/6/06 at 9:56pm

Yeah....but most things in DRS would too!

[SweetQintheLights]

Posted: 7/6/06 at 9:57pm

Avenue Q and Spelling Bee are definitely no-nos

Hairspray
Jersey Boys (maybe?)
May I say....Mamma Mia!

But I doubt a ten year old would like DRS too much anyway, I say go with Hairspray or Spelling Bee.

Hairspray. I saw a lot of kids much younger then 10 there last time I went

and Spelling Bee might be fun. My Unfortunate Erection will probobly go right over his head, and he'll be too distracted by catching candy anyway. Psh. I'm almost 15 and I'm distracted by the candy.

Yeah, but...Spelling Bee is a little more light. There are things in DRS he might not get.

"Yeah, but...Spelling Bee is a little more light. There are things in DRS he might not get."


But if doesn't get it he will loudly demand an explination, and I don't know how we'll get out of that. If we don't tell him he will look it up on the internet, I'm sure. He remembers things like that...

Jersey Boys (maybe?)

Definitely not. There is a lot of cursing in the show.

The f bomb is all in Jersey Boys!

Personally, I'm not all that worried about cursing. With the movies he rents on the TV...I'm suprised he hasn't started cursing himself!
I'm more worried about the other kinds of humor I don't want us to have to leave the show because he is loudly demanding explinations for every word he doesn't know (there is a reason I won't let him come to the movies with me...besides the fact that he's ten!)
I also need something that will keep him entertained. The second he gets bored he will be begging to leave.
