Operation Mincemeat if he likes comedy, British humor and WW2 history
Lion King for classic, big spectacle though he might think he's "too old" for it (he isn't)
Wicked if he loved the movie and wants to know what happens next

I have an almost 11yo son and we live in NYC. These have been his favorites recently.


I am Gen-X. I've seen a lot of theater. Lion King is just beautiful. I saw it on Broadway last year for the first time. Classic plot. Most I've ever spent on a ticket. It was worth it. I sat in D in the center. A little further back...F/G...might have been ideal. Some recommend sitting on the aisle because the life-size animal puppets do come down the aisle.

I would totally recommend Lion King over Six. Six looks fun but it's historically inaccurate.



Are you under the impression that Lion King is accurate?

& Juliet is a great show for that age!

Loved all of these. But Hadestown is so dark.


It’s also hopeful and beautiful and fun. My kids adored it from age 8+. If they know a bit about mythology it is totally easy to follow.
