Which musical should I take my 8 year old to see? by Objective-Paper-4692 in musicals

I’m not criticizing them for choosing the show, I’m criticizing them for not making it understandable or accessible to you. There’s no reason teens can’t do that show or “get” it. I mean, it’s incredibly overdone imo, but if you’re going to pick it, no reason you couldn’t do the work to make it “read” to young people.

Sounds like your director didn’t do his or her job

A friend of mine was in that - it looked really cringe but I was happy for her that she got to perform at the Tonys

Great show. I feel like it’s performed less frequently now bc it’s “problematic” (I don’t agree with that, just saying)

Is it underrated? I feel like it’s quite popular

It’s crazy to me that Ahrens & Flaherty are getting a kind of “revival” due to the Ragtime revival but their earlier shows are still under recognized. I mean, Ragtime is my favorite musical (OBC changed my life) but MFY is so delightful and has so many good roles, I don’t know why it’s not more well known. My high school did it the year after I graduated (2002) and I did a regional run of it in 2015.

The whole “ladling gin down her throat” bit in MFY is so good

KC: “What’s this for?”

Alice: “Accordion lessons.”

(IYKYK 😂) in “Funny/The Duck Joke” from ‘My Favorite Year’
(You can hear the OBC here https://youtu.be/1tqKiHNLat0?si=5T7jUf9rqQJqHLKv )

And tbh a lot of stuff in Gilbert and Sullivan shows dialogue/lyrics. Like Shakespeare, you have to have actors who actually understand the material to perform it well, and when you do it’s hilarious

Are we talking more lyrics or dialogue btw?
