ok, you may have your opinion, like I stated in my last post, but a few adults with children left at intermission, the man behind me slept and snored. I really like Little Women, but NOT for young children, it is a little boring and if you only have a couple of shows because of time and money to see, I would not suggest it. I have not seen Brooklyn but plan to see it when I am there next and Light in The Piazza, excitement! Also, I forgot that our older group liked Producers too. My opinions are just that, I also LOVED "Wonderful Town" but many did not, but it closed. If you only have time to see 2 shows with children and teens, I say "Hairspray" and "Lion King" and of course "Wicked" if they can get tickets! they are upbeat, will win anyone new over to loving Broadway musicals, and maybe they will grow up loving Broadway and pass it on to the next generation! And maybe adults will keep on coming back to keep it alive and profitable!

And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys

These are my faves of all time, on or off Broadway:
1)RENT
2)Aida
3)Cabaret
4)Wicked
5)Phantom of the Opera
I also really like the music from 'Chess'. I think it got a bad rap. They should revive it...with Josh Groban...and Adam.

Posted: 4/4/05 at 2:10pmstarlight my issue wasnt with exactly what you said but how general you made it. Generalizations are what I was criticizing your post about.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
