Age of child to take to musical?

Just check with the theatre too as some of them have age restrictions, I enquirer about mary poplins and was told no kids under 5!

its very expensive to get tickets to things like that as well... tbh... I'd wait until she was older and could appreciate it more... if you want her to see something maybe a local amateur theatre show may be better?? cheaper and you can see if she would sit through it.

I've paid a lot of money for musical tickets and it would be a bit irritating to have a toddler running around, talking and dancing and singing near me... yeah I know I'm a grump....!

I do think they are designed for older children and adults though..... I went to my first with my grandma at 12 years and it was so special then... I really appreicated how much effort the cast went to and the music and the lights.... I just don't think she'll get it.. sorry

perhaps something age appropriate, like dora, the wiggles or something would be better.

and the other thing is...if you take her to something like that now.... what will be special when she's 10.... or 15.... ???

but... it's your child so if you want to, and can... then it's your choice
