The Color Purple or Rent. As for plays, Is He Dead (for something light) or August: Osage County (for something a little darker).
"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." - Sherie Rene Scott
I totally disagree with Color Purple or RENT. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE both....(just saw Color Purple in LA recently)...but I do not feel either is appropriate for your average 14yr old.
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

The choosing was not...

My sister's 14 and soo in love with Xanadu. She also loved Legally Blonde, Hairspray and The Little Mermaid.

As a 17 year-old I think RENT is the perfect show for a 14 year-old to see. Before RENT (which I saw when I was 15), I'd never REALLY connected to something on stage and never felt like I was watching real people in real life, but RENT did that for me. AND there's only a small amount of time left to see it on Broadway as I'm sure you know.
Elphaba- I don't think he was saying Hairspray is too mature for them, he just said they were bored.
As for Rent...I was 15 when I saw it. I loved it. That was right about the time the show came out and all the kids in my theatre department loved it. I know we performed selections from Rent in a choir concert in high school. I think if they're mature, it shouldn't be a problem. The only awkward part for me was during the song Contact. Sitting next to my dad during that song was a little weird, but more or less because I didn't think he'd react very well to it. Not because it offended me.
I say Spring Awakening, Rent, Avenue Q , or Legally Blonde.
He's a faker, and you've been taken in by his con. And in doing so, you are enabling him. He is doing more damage to aspergers than papa's words ever could. -Chane/Liverpool on me having asperger syndrome.
I do agree with the member who said that, although the girls may be mature enough for Spring Awakening, they would be uncomfortable sitting through it with a parent. Mortified is my guess. We are talking about simulated masturbation and intercourse on stage.....
"Do you know ChrisLovesShows?" "Yes. Why, yes he does!"
I agree, Spring Awakening would be quite awkward to attend with a parent, or possibly worse, a friend's parent. You should know what you're getting into before you take them.
Did they like Wicked? If so, then yeah, LB and Hairspray are great options. I think Grease would be worthwhile too.
-RENT -Hairspray -Legally Blond (though i really dont like it) -Mama Mia -The Lion King (if their disney fans and are interested in costumes and sets etc because the lion king did i wonderful job in that department) -Grease
avenue q and spring awakening are also good choices, but they might be awkward to see with a parent or friends parent
Hairspray..Legally Blonde.. i suggest RENT before it closes if they can handle language and seeing someones butt haha which im sure they can.. i also reccommend mary poppins
<-- Gwen Stewart, SOLoist at the last show of RENT Cages or wings?
Which do you prefer?
Ask the birds.
Fear or love, baby?
Don't say the answer
Actions speak louder than words.
(Tick, Tick... BOOM!)
I think that Jersey Boys, Legally Blonde, Hairspray, or RENT are all good shows for a fourteen year old to see.
Guess what? I have flaws. What are they? Oh I don't know... I sing in the shower. Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I'll hit somebody with my car. So sue me. No, don't sue me... that's the opposite of the point I'm trying to make.
