i'm 14.
it's brilliant.
it's amazing. the best thing on broadway that i've ever seen. truly amazing.
take him, don't worry. kid's are more advanced and resourceful than most people think. if he likes musical theater, he should enjoy it. it's truly amazing.

Bless you, Auggie!
I think you would get along well with my parents. They used to(and still do) take me with them to just about every theatre event that goes on around here. It's thanks to them that I'm interested in theatre at all.
And I agree. Give kids some credit. Most 14 yr. olds watch horror movies. Those are waaaay scarier than Sweeney.

"YES!

I thought you were going to say you really enjoyed and understood it at 4 or 5. I would've been very scared if that was the case!

Posted: 2/26/06 at 8:44amWhen I saw it, there was a group of four or five girls who really enjoyed the show, and they seemed to be 7-9.

Posted: 2/26/06 at 9:14amOkay...If I can see Rent and The Woman in White (which deals with rape, murder and is kind of freaky IMHO, but I loved it)and I am almost 14. I'm sure he will be fine!
