Helpful Tips for Parents
1
Choose the Right Show Time:
Matinee performances are often better for kids, as they finish earlier and allow families to enjoy the show without it feeling too late in the day.
Evening shows can run late, so make sure your child is comfortable staying up for a 2.5-hour show with intermission.

Familiarize Kids with the Story and Music:
Listen to Wicked’s soundtrack before the show and talk about the storyline. This can help kids understand the plot and appreciate the music and characters even more.
Wicked is based on The Wizard of Oz characters, so giving a quick recap of Dorothy’s world can make the experience more enjoyable.

Arrive Early:
Broadway theaters recommend arriving 30 minutes early to find seats and settle in. Early arrival also allows time for restroom visits and purchasing any snacks or drinks.
Take the time to explore the theater lobby, where there may be Wicked souvenirs and merchandise.

Consider Age Appropriateness:
Wicked is recommended for children aged 8 and up due to its length and complex themes. If you’re bringing younger children, gauge their comfort with longer shows and slightly darker themes.
