[quote=Anonymous]How young?  Those are all probably fine choices, but I don't love any of them.  We really liked Hadestown -- my teens are into Greek myths -- but if they're really young, that might be a bit much.  &Juliet would be fun with teens, but I haven't seen it.  Justin Time has Jonathan Groff (!) and looks like it will have a lot of fun toe-tappers.  And Hamilton is just AMAZING and totally worth it if they haven't seen it.  Six is also super fun (and short, if that's a concern) -- my 12 year old really liked it, and I got her a couple kids history books about the wives of Henry VIII before we saw it so she felt like she *knew* them.  It's not really a traditional show though -- each wife gets a song and they have a couple songs together, so it tells a story but not in teh traditional musical way.  There's also the Outsiders, which a lot of kids read in middle school -- have no idea if it's good, but it did win some Tony's.

The theaters are all small so seats are all decent, but avoid ones that are obstructed view or way over to one side or another.  Obviously, better tickets will be more expensive so you just need to balance your budget.  I usually end up with something like a middle priced seat and it's fine.

You can walk over to Times Square (my least favorite place in possibly the world) and do the tourist stuff that teens love like the Nintendo store,  the M&M store and the swatch store.  Or you can find someplace to have a fun dinner before or after. -- if you tell us what kind of food/vibe you like, we can probably come up with some suggestions. Depending on when your train gets in and how much you feel like wandering, you could easily add something like MOMA, or going to the "Top of the Rock" for the views (top of Rockefeller Center).  I think MOMA is free for teens but I might be wrong.  There's a few famous paintings there, like water lilies, that they've probably seen reproductions of, so that can be fun.
