Watch out for Wicked. My daughter's kindergarten teacher informed me that my 5 year old was explaining to all of her friends how important it was to be 'popular'. Seems that the 5 year olds don't get the irony thing.
"...But Kungurtseva reels off multiple fouettes and the tape is stopped so she can take a bow. The Jester, an abomination introduced to Swan Lake in Soviet times, extorts applause from the audience. The cuts don't help the storytelling, the production is bare bones and they go for the '50s-style happy ending.
The audience cheers like mad at the end. It's the Russian ballet, after all..."
Yeah, Wicked might would be good, but i have a 5 year old cousin, and in Defying Gravity,and The Wizzard and I, she started crying, and said "The ugly green lady scared me" But it all depends. But definatly not Rent, you don't kids to listen at 5, they might turn out like me, and go to school and start singing TMOLM, or Contact, or something like that. Updated On: 11/13/05 at 02:58 PM
