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!

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.

starlight my issue wasnt with exactly what you said but how general you made it. Generalizations are what I was criticizing your post about.
