West End Musical suitable for 8 and 4 year old

[frankie3]

I would take to take my two DS's to a West End Musical as they love shows and are good at sitting still! My DS aged 8 wants to see Oliver or Mamma Mia, but I wonder if they would be too old for my DS aged 4? I also thought of the Lion King, but have heard that it is really sad when the dad dies, and some children end up crying!

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?

(beware the childcatcher, though)

I would have said Lion King

Mamma Mia fairly inappropriate for a 4 year old boy I think

why not watch the dvd of Lion King and see how he reacts?

Joseph?

Is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on any more? My DS age 8 has already seen Joseph, he loved it. Good idea to show them a DVD of the Lion King - do you know where I could get a cheap DVD of it?
