Best NYC Kids’ Shows for Fall 2012: 13 Fun Family-Friendly Productions
Submitted by Raven Snook on
We continue our fall culture preview with a look at the best family-friendly shows premiering over the next few months. I've been covering NYC kids' theater for many years now and I can honestly say that this is one of the most exciting seasons I've ever seen—and not just because Annie is being revived on Broadway. (When I saw the original, I related to Annie. Now that I'm a mom, I bet I'll be more sympathetic to Miss Hannigan!)
As always, there are a bunch of page-to-stage adaptations, including Fancy Nancy, A Little Princess and two different productions of The Velveteen Rabbit. But there are more offbeat offerings too, like a puppet show starring a giant cockroach, yo-yo tricks and a literal political circus. So don't blow all of your money on Broadway! Here are 13 kids' shows worth splurging on this fall.
