Show to see with daughter — Page 2

i say piazza! mamma mia is very suggestive, so it might not exactly be appropriate for a 9 year old. piazza is the PERFECT mother daughter musical.

Light in the Piazza is a perfect story for a mother/daughter... the story centralizes partially around a mother/daughter relationship. From what you mentioned, I think she would enjoy Piazza... I love the same musicals as you mentioned she likes, so I hope you look into it!

I wouldn't say Selling Bee, I think families make the mistake of taking kids to it. I mean I wouldn't call a song called "My Unfortunate Erection" (MUE Chip's Lament) Acceptable for kids.

Sweet Charity isn't porvocative, so that is a great choice. She'll love the humor, but Piazza is great but very muture at the same time.

Why are some of you mentioning Rent, DRS, and Piazza.

They are adult shows. Though Piazza dosen't have much sexuality, besides the act 1 finale. And the story would be quite hard to understand for a 9 year old. Telecharge only reccomends Piazza for 13 and older.

DRS usually gets a very mature audience. I would NEVER take a 9 year old to that.

Telecharge reccomends CHARITY for 4 years old and older. So, that shows it's a family show.

One thing about "Bee"..my unfortunate erection (I didn't even realize that was the name of the song) would go over her head...I really think she would like this show..and Piazza is much more adult in its themes, though lovely.

I agree with her thoughts on the music of Chitty. I haven't seen the show either for that same reason.
Mamma Mia is a fun show, with great classic tunes, and I'm sure that any young girl can appreciate the situation. It is also one of the most popular musicals in world history, and for good reason.

Hmmmmm

my choices and why:

All Shook Up: If you like Hairspray..you'll like this one plus is AWESOME

Light In The Piazza: like others have said...if she liked phantom..she might like this one.

Mamma Mia!: Don't care much for...but its good

The Producers: It's fine really...she's probably going to want to see the movie when it comes out so you could just take her to see that.

Sweet Charity: Its cool..yeah the stuff will be over her head...she probably won't remember it though.

CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG: THIS IS A AWESOME SHOW...I'm one of the few people who will say that at first I was like ..I'll watch the movie...but the show..it 1000 times better in my opinion...and like they say in a the library.."DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER"...plus you might miss out on something that you might never get to see again...like the flying car.

What! Don't consider THE PRODUCERS at all.

My God, no. Not for a 9 year old. I am 16, and felt uncomfortable during some parts with my parents next to me.

The Producers is definately NOT a children's show, profanity aside.

"Where is she? Clinchmepinchme, yankmespankme, suckmefuc- oh here she is!"

"It's called an erection."

"Who do you have to f*ck to get a break in this town?"

Thanks everyone! Well, we've decided on Charity (Mama Mia and Piazza came in a close second). I'm certain that any adult themes will go right over her head. By the way, I've seen The Producers and DRS and wouldn't feel comfortable taking her to those shows...just my opinion. I do appreciate all of the input!

And revive this thread to let us know what she thinks of it!

i really enjoyed charity, while some of the choreography is a little strange, some of the numbers were great(i loved there's gotta be something better than this)

i think it's a good choice(my 10 year old sister seemed to enjoy it, and she's also a big musical fan, though her favorite musical i think is producers, which is very different from POTO)
but still, i think she'll enjoy it
hope you both like the show
