When my kids were infants, instead of coaxing them to sleep with lullabies, I used to play show tunes so as they've gotten older, it's really no surprise that some of their favorite leisure activities involve singing and dancing. There are lots of options in Fairfield County for kids of all ages and abilities who are interested in the musical arts…these are some of our favorites:

What about parents who like Star Wars movies (or at least 20th century Star Wars movies) but didn't feel driven to join the throngs in seeing the new one opening weekend? What about those of us who take a PG-13 rating to heart, and wonder whether this is a movie to see with kids? And, if you do want to see it as a family, is it really so special seeing it at El Capitan? I'll take a vow of no spoilers and answer all of these questions.
