I recommend Hairspray, too! :) I'm sure he'll get most of the humor, and I bet little kids will go wild (as in laugh) when Edna Turnblad goes on stage. :)
It's easy to understand the story, too.

I would reccommend Mamma Mia. A few years ago we took my eleven year old brother and he loved it even though he has claimed to hate many other shows that we have taken him to. A couple topics might go over his head but the majority is appropriate.

I'd say your parents ought to get a handle on your brother's behavior before they take him anyplace. They should stop being so protective and teach him some manners. They should use a little tough love, they'll appreciate that they did it when he gets a little older and so will he.

Fully recommend Hairspray.

Anyone think the brat should see Inishmore?

What about Spamalot?
I mean, there's not too much swearing...however, there's a couple iffy parts...but it kept my 11 year old cousin entertained, and there wasnt a lot of questions that he asked.

I dunno, but besides that Beauty and the Beast or Spelling Bee would probably be your best choices.

Ten years old is too young for any of these shows! Bring back the good old days when theater was family friendly.

How about The Lieutenant of Inishmore?

My son loved Spamalot-it's a lot of fun for everyone. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is great too-lots of things to laugh at and keep you entertained.

Have fun!

Did he hate Wicked or like it? Because if he hated it, then a fast-paced comedy is the way to go. DRS is hysterical but a bit too complicated and a bit too much talk for a ten-year old to keep entertained. Then there's the totally manic Spamalot, but unless your brother likes British humor and slapstick...wait, nevermind, Spamalot is probably a good idea. Act 2 might go over his head a lot, though. The Disney shows are good, but it's about what you want to see, and if I had a chance to see any Broadway show now...it would defintely not be a Disney production. Your choice...

What about Spelling Bee?
But he would probably like Hairspray or Mary Poppins if it's opened when you go.

My daughter was just 11 when we saw Spamalot, Spelling Bee and DRS, and she loved them all. It really depends how naive the kids it. She also saw Wicked and LITP at 11. At 12 she saw Sweeney and Drowsy..Drowsy is good for any age. It's really about how into theatre they are.

My sister is ten and she saw spelling bee. She caught two packs of chips and some Swedish Fish! But she is allowed to see all sorts of stuff that is not considered age appropriate, like the movie Hair. How's Jersey Boys?

What about Stomp (just saw the tour...amazing!) or Drumstruck (Was in the audience at Regis and Kelly when they performed). I know they are not your traditional musicals with storylines but tehy are fun and somewhat interactive. I don't know, seems like a 10-year old might enjoy one of those.

Stomp is awesome but, i thikn a ten year old would find it boring. I remember I watched a video of Stomp when I was 10 and thought it was boring.

Spelling Bee: It would be great for him. One song will go over his head tho. He would love it.
Disney: May be fun, he may be a little too old though.
Blue Man Group: He would have a blast. It is funny and the Blue Men are great with everything they do. Nothing beats blue guys banging on drums and doing weird stuff.
