TT: So you want to see a show?

Here's my list of recommended Broadway, off-Broadway, and out-of-town shows, updated weekly. In all cases, I gave these shows favorable reviews (if sometimes qualifiedly so) in The Wall Street Journal when they opened. For more information, click on the title.



BROADWAY:

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (musical, G/PG-13, perfectly fine for children whose parents aren't actively prudish, reviewed here)

The Importance of Being Earnest (high comedy, G, just possible for very smart children, closes July 3, reviewed here)

Lombardi (drama, G/PG-13, a modest amount of adult subject matter, reviewed here)

Million Dollar Quartet (jukebox musical, G, reviewed here)

OFF BROADWAY:

Avenue Q (musical, R, adult subject matter and one show-stopping scene of puppet-on-puppet sex, reviewed here)

The Fantasticks (musical, G, suitable for children capable of enjoying a love story, reviewed here)

Play Dead (theatrical spook show, PG-13, utterly unsuitable for easily frightened children or adults, reviewed here)

CLOSING SOON ON BROADWAY:

La Cage aux Folles (musical, PG-13, adult subject matter, closes May 1, reviewed here)

CLOSING SOON OFF BROADWAY:

Angels in America (drama, PG-13/R, adult subject matter, closes Apr. 24, reviewed here)

CLOSING SATURDAY ON BROADWAY:

Driving Miss Daisy (drama, G, possible for smart children, reviewed here)

CLOSING SUNDAY OFF BROADWAY:

Molly Sweeney (drama, G, too serious for children, reviewed here)
