Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake, at Sadler’s Wells.

Come Alive! Based on the film The Greatest Showman, absolutely spectacular. Teen DSD said it was faultless and that is high praise indeed.

They like musical, dance, I think probably something easy watching, something special to remember

@Fluffymammoth lion king ticks all of those!
visual, colourful, great music - we loved it with older teenagers!

Another vote for Back to the Future

I would consider what type of thing they would most like to see.

les mis and phantom are absolute classics as others have said

i loved Six, as did my young daughter, think its great and empowering for women but shorter than most shows. Great uplifting music, clever lyrics.

wicked is very topical and it's another show I love.
I would also say it's brilliantly staged but know many people are less keen.

&Juliet I haven't seen but is on my list and think might be one to consider, as would Moulin Rouge.

Get Lion King tickets, I have seen most long running shoes on the West End and there simply is no comparison.

They'll be familiar with the story but that's not an issue and adds a bit of nostalgia but it's the staging and puppets that make it. If you can get in the stalls you want them to be near the aisle or edge so when the puppets move through the audience they are right next to them.

We saw Lion King last weekend and it was absolutely stunning. Any age would love it.
Production, lighting, music; puppetry was incredible!

Back to the future definitely. The effects are amazing.
