[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NO, it's not appropriate for a 7 year old. That play is dark as hell. In addition to all the things mentioned above, there's a suicide too. Pretty much all the characters, except for 2 who have a reasonably happy ending, are killed, kill themselves, or die a miserable, horrible death. I mean, really? It's for adults. Perhaps mature middle schoolers, or high school aged teens. But there is no way I would bring an elementary aged kid to Les Mis. Certainly not a 7 year old.[/quote] Exactly. Think about the meaning of the title. I don't know which part of the plot you would even want to explain to your seven year old. Even of the two mentioned above - one endured child abuse and becoming an orphan. The other sings "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables." This is not 42nd Street. The show is for teens and adults.[/quote]
