I expected her to think before she asked.

She's barely 7...what do you expect? confused

I think it's an intense play for a 7 year old. Her request didn't seem to have any thought given.

Why do you think your GD is way too young?

And, can a 7 year-old have a poorly thought request? confused

I think it's a poorly thought request, I'd prefer her mum deal with a play like Wicked.

A London play, for her, also makes my gs birthday difficult.

Well if you take a look at the Box Office for Wicked they say not suitable for children under 7s.. what do her parents think? I would probably take my own grandchild at 7 but not other peoples children, if they did get scared would you be comfortable comforting them?

From the 'Wicked' blurb

Wicked is suitable for a general audience. As a guide to parents and guardians, it is recommended for ages 7+.

And my eldest gs is turning 15, how do give him something as lovely as a trip to London with friends? He is a lad not interested in London trips with GPs.

Why is the title of this thread 'Birthday for a teen' if your GD is only 7? confused

My eldest gd is turning 7. She wants me to take her, with her friends, to Wicked. I feel she is way too young. Would you take young children to Wicked?
