Quick Inspiration
Definitely for tweens and teens who enjoy music and comedy. There’s some innuendo and a few cheeky moments, but nothing explicit. Think of it as a PG-12 – best for kids who are emotionally ready for rom-com levels of relationship talk.
The music will keep them happy, but younger children might get a bit fidgety during the dialogue-heavy bits. If your little one knows ABBA already, they’ll love it, if not, bring snacks and hope for the best.
Around 2 hours 35 minutes, including interval. You’ll be out in time to catch a reasonable train home or grab late-night pizza nearby.
Not at all. It’s upbeat, playful and full of colour. A great first West End show.
Yes, but like many older West End venues, legroom can be tight. Book aisle seats if you can, especially for taller kids or grandparents.
Anything goes, but if you fancy a bit of sparkle, now’s your chance. Expect a few feather boas in the audience…
It’s at the Novello Theatre, right near Covent Garden and Somerset House. Loads of great family food options around – Flat Iron, Wahaca, or the iconic Rules if you’re going posh.
