Best show for teen birthday

[timefornewme2023]

DD is soon to be 13 and I would like to take her to a show as part of her birthday gift this year .
She is interested in seeing Hamilton which feels quite different to what most of her friends have been to - mainly Wicked , lion king etc which perhaps seem younger choices. I haven't seen any of them as we find theatre trips are so expensive ( probably involves a night away to most decent theatres)
Is Hamilton likely to be a good choice ?

Or do I go for something completely different and do ABBA voyage with her instead? She has been keen on this for a while too.

Anyone done these or have other ideas for me !
It feels like a bigger decision as we can't afford to do both ( and what she would probably really love is Taylor Swift tickets !)

Stranger things. I have bought tickets for £75 with a slight restricted view to one corner of the stage so basically half price!

Thanks @rewilded I will take a look !
We haven't ever watched the series but I know some of her friends are big fans.

DS and I absolutely loved Hamilton when he was that age. I would always recommend it and if you can book in advance, the boxes are amazing and not that expensive (around £60). Six is also a good shout.
DS also loved Les Mis.
Guys and Dolls immersive is also fabulous and a really unique experience.
DS now 15 won't go to the theatre with me any more. I miss it a lot!

Hamilton is fab! One of my favourites. It does help to have a basic understanding of American history before you go. I'd say if that's the one she wants to see then that should be the one you go with

https://www.todaytix.com/ might help. Great prices for advance dates not just same day.

You should take her to the Abba voyage. I went to see it a year and a half ago, and I loved it so much, I wanted to go back as soon as it was finished. Also getting her tickets to see Taylor Swift is a good idea, Taylor Swift is my favourite singer.

Hamilton is fab and also touring. So you could do it for less if it's near you. Bristol is next I think.

I would recommend Six. Both my girls and I loved it!

Hamilton. DD loved it.

Hamilton is amazing - a totally iconic piece of theatre that people will still be talking about in 20 years' time.

Six

Mind mangler is hilarious if it’s still around.

Definitely Hamilton.

Ooh thanks for all the replies and encouragement for Hamilton I do think this is what would get her most excited at the moment

This was what I was looking at we could do this more easily than west end !

This would be my first choice !
I think I missed a chance on this one

Hamilton is fab but you’ll both enjoy it more if you read the plot first - IMO it’s like watching Shakespeare, it is hard to follow the story if you come to it completely cold and if you know the plot you’ll get a lot more out of it.

I would also really recommend Six. It’s very different but equally good.

I really want to do this too ! Trouble is a couple of these events and it wipes out the holiday budget .
