Haha Orange! Worse is when they take kids to shows they will be scared of. I saw Little shop w/ a 4, 5-year old next to me, from the start she kept saying is this scary, etc? The mom was like no no sweetie it's funny etc. She was pretty nervous and upset most of the show but she screamed and cried when the plant ate Orin. They had to leave during intermission. Thank god, she would have had nightmares the way the plant ate Mushnik. Stupid parents.
Oh, well I remember lots of stuff of the shows I saw before I was 7...certainly remember Lola in Damn Yankees, and the bet, and the basic story, and Heart and Shoeless Joe and Whatever Lola Wants, I remember sitting near the front in the mezz in itchy tights b/c my mom used to make me dress up...I remember the dance in King and I and how the main characters went to the boxes to watch, and shall we dance and bawling when he died as I did during the movie, and Sound of Music I remember we were the audience for the festival and I loved the woman who bowed too much, and Brigita seemed very talented and to have a bigger part than the rest of the kids or what she did in the movie.
Guess I was just a mature 7-10 year-old :-P
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
