Family Guide & Show Content Information
Considering bringing the kids to a show? Concerns about content? Check out our guidelines to help you decide.
We believe that sharing the theatre with youngsters can be a life-changing experience, but some shows are more family-friendly than others. Our guidelines below can give you a general idea of what might be appropriate, but you know your child best. If you have questions or want to talk further about any show’s content, just call us at 800.294.1816.
Generally, if your child can pay attention to a full-length movie at the cinema, he or she will probably enjoy a theatrical event. Many shows suggest no children under the age of 4. All children must have a ticket, regardless of age.

THE BOOK OF MORMON
Composed by “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and Avenue Q’s Robert Lopez, THE BOOK OF MORMON is an old-style musical with a modern sensibility. This blockbuster show features several big song-and-dance numbers accompanied by some old-fashioned Broadway belting. An equal opportunity offender, the show playfully pokes fun at religion, sexuality, poverty and race, while inspiring an after-the-show discussion of religion in general. We recommend checking out the cast recording to get an idea of the show’s humor and language. THE BOOK OF MORMON contains explicit language. For more information, please visit the show’s website.
