What shows do you recommend for a young teen and her parents?

Posted: 2/11/08 at 12:59pm

I'm planning to see a few Broadway shows while I'm in the city from April 5-8 with my husband and 13-year-old daughter. My daughter and I have seen Wicked (our favorite), Hairspray and Spamalot (loved both), The Lion King, Mamma Mia, and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (liked them). My husband saw Spamalot with us and liked it a lot but wasn't crazy about The Lion King.

Does anyone have any recommendations for what we should see this time? I was considering Legally Blonde, Young Frankenstein, and South Pacific. Would these be appropriate/appealing for a 13-year-old? How about for a mid-30s dad?? Anything else you can recommend?

In the Heights.
Or maybe Xanadu? -I wasn't overly a fan, but a lot of folks *loved* it.
Or Blonde.

I would not recommend Grease, unless she watched the reality show and 'needs' to see it because of the stars of that show or something.

Why not a play? The 39 Steps was quite funny and if you are a Hitchcock fan you will really like it.
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." Conan O'Brien

Might as well mention the Disney musicals:
Lion King
Mary Poppins
The Little Mermaid

or:

Wicked
Legally Blonde
Grease
Young Frankenstein

I'm looking forward to South Pacific.

Young Frankenstein!!!! The sets are worth it!
