A prequel play to the Netflix series set in 1959 Hawkins, famous for its horror-style stage effects. Best for teens who already watch the show and don't scare easily.
A musical theater training program where young performers take multi-week workshops, weekend master classes and summer intensives taught by Broadway professionals. Younger kids work on singing, dancing and acting together in Triple Threat, while teens focus on audition technique.

Disney's stage version of The Lion King, famous for its life-size animal puppets and masks that fill the theater during the opening number. A visually striking pick for families with school-age kids.

A stage magic spectacle spun off from the Now You See Me heist films, with illusions and tricks performed live on Broadway. Magic shows are often an easy sell for kids who are not yet into musicals.
