Don’t get me wrong... he was still impressive! It makes much more sense to me that he only recently started to cover the role. I was surprised the show would put an actor in that position of not being fully prepared!

Thank you all for your thoughtful responses, I especially appreciate the consideration given to what may be most impactful for my son as a theatre lover.
Based on the new information and opinions I think I have moved The Prom to the front if we all go to one more show and then maybe I would just take my son to TKAM and Hadestown on our own.
We are travelling as a family to New York over Easter. My son is 13, a musical theatre, music and theatre lover who both acts and sings and has been in professional productions.

Our 16 year old daughter does not really care for theatre. We may decide to divide and conquer but if not we would likely be choosing between the following
