help me pick a play

Little Shop of Horrors would be great based on the demographics you've mentioned.

If not that, then you should try for 'Millie' (Probably sold out)

Avenue Q might be a bit advanced for 16 yr. olds, but that's subjective. I think they'd be fine... but some people are wierd.

I'm assuming that you're thinking of musicals even though you said plays...

They'd probably love Wicked, if you can get tickets. That would probably be the biggest deal from your daughter's perspective. A couple of the major characters got their starts in Rent. Aida is probably also a safe choice, given what she has already seen. It's been around for a while and I'm not sure who is in it these days, but tickets to that would not be looked down upon, I'm sure. There is Gypsy Little Shop of Horrors. Avenue Q is terrific, but there is a fair amount of sexual content, somewhat raunchy, so that would depend on what you are comfortable taking your daughter and (key concept) her friend to see. I'd do it, but I then again, I also took my 15 year old to The Full Monty, so I may not be the best judge.

I consulted my 17-year-old who has seen all of shows in question. Her recommendations for you in order of preference, are: Wicked, Aida, Gypsy, Little Shop of Horrors or Thoroughly Modern Millie.

Let us know what you pick.
