...called "a play for all ages"? I just went and saw it in NYC last night and there was lots of profanity in it...does anyone happen to know why people said it was for both children and adults? I'm not sure if anyone will, since you obviously didn't review the musical, but I was just wondering.
Thank you!Why was the musical "Billy Elliot"...?
Ticketing Information for the show on its website carries the following warning: "BILLY ELLIOT is most appropriate for children 8 years of age or older. It contains strong language and some scenes of confrontation between policemen and miners."
Considering the language, some parents might think 8 to be too young for the show, but would be more comfortable with taking tweens, starting at around 11 or 12 to the show. It really is up to parents to educate themselves about what they are considering taking their kids to. Some would feel okay about the language as long as they knew in advance that it was coming and took the time to sit down with their kids to talk about the story and discuss the fact that there will be "strong" language in the show. Other parents would not be comfortable with taking their kids at all, but as I said, the warning is there on the site, so they should educate themselves in advance before making the decision about whether they want to take their kids to the show.Why was the musical "Billy Elliot"...?
I KNOW i saw it with school and they were shocked (high school but still) everything says appropriate for children over 8 or something but still...i dont think they care about language or anything but i think the reviewer was thinking of the storyline mot the lines
