I saw it last night and it started at about 8:05 and ended at 10:40. So, still about 2 hours 35 minutes.

We were there last night with you! It was really good. Agree that it's probably not appropriate for under 13, but I did see a few younger kids there.

About 2:35.

Thanks!

We just saw it and I disagree about the length. We felt it was perfect! Although I would not take anyone under 13. There was a kid about 8 and she kept kicking us and asking very loud questions. Very annoying!

LOVED it..it did feel a little long, though.

My husband is the same way. He isn't crazy about the movie, but enjoyed the music and the sets. That being said, he also mentioned it was too long and sometimes tedious. It follows the movie very closely.

The movie is rated 14+ and IMO, the musical is more sexual than the movie (including slightly veiled reference to ejaculate). This wasn't a Disney-joke-over-their-heads kind of thing. If you wouldn't mind your kid peeping in the windows at your typical high school party where the parents aren't home ... ok. This is not PG-13.

I loved it, btw.

When it started I thought "Oh my 8 yo will love this!" then after a few mentions of blow jobs and other adult stuff I thought better of it. Leave kids under 13/14 at home.
