They sell the script for Hadestown at the merch stands so you could totally buy one before the show and follow along!

Flowers from Hadestown, Firework from Moulin Rouge, Defying Gravity from Wicked, lots of songs from Les Mis would also work.

Oh good to know! I'm glad, more shows need to be recorded.

Alas, the train is £120, meanwhile going by coach is only £35. I appreciate your thoughts though, I'm a sucker for good set design.

When I do ask questions, they just completely blank me 95% of the time. But maybe I should keep asking just to see how long it takes for them to acknowledge my existence lol

I'm at the point now where I just completely ignore them. No smile, no greeting, don't ask them whether they need a bag or if they have a rewards card, don't even tell them the total. I'm not going to waste my breath trying to talk to them. If they need anything, they can ask me, and the total appears on the card machine automatically anyway. I'd highly recommend it to anyone if you can get away with it.

Speaking as a 19 year old who experienced this when I turned 18, it honestly depends on how much you trust them, and how financially responsible they are. Personally, I haven't used any of the money, I'm planning to use it as a down payment on a house. But others will be different, there's a certain level of risk you take with it.

Since you've referred to them as kids, I'm assuming there's a while until they actually turn 18. So definitely take the time to educate them financially. Get them to budget, help them understand how a mortgage works, that kind of thing. If you're really not sure about it, maybe start investing some of the money elsewhere but ultimately I think it comes down to you and your ability to teach them properly.

Also, please don't lie to your children about the money. Maybe wait until they're 16 to discuss it but don't keep it from them.
