I'm wondering if The Drowsy Chaperone is appropriate for children. Did anyone see it in L.A.? What is the amount of language, sexuality, innuendo, and other censorable elements? Is it family-friendly?

It's mostly family friendly save for




****SPOILER ALERT****



The Man in Chair has a crush on the leading man character in the musical within the play, references a marriage that went south due to his implied homosexuality. Also a quick, but funny lesbian reference. Maybe a slight innuendo here and there.

I think they are harmless, but now you are aware.

Go, see it, love it!

Man In Chair also sips a little brandy in the second half of the play, but I doubt younger kids would know the difference. I would take any kid over 10 in a heartbeat, especially if they love musical theatre.

I will take my six year old to the first preview tonight. We're all excited. Will let you know how it went.

It's appropriate for everyone in my opinion. If it was a movie, I'd probably give it a PG.
