Broadway Cast

If you're fine with the film, the Broadway show isn't that much worse. Either the cast recording or the video of the Broadway show would be fine I think. My parents took my brother and I to see it when I was 15 and he was 13 and it was fine - we loved it, they loved it, we all loved it. They talked to us about the issues first. The Broadway show is very stylized and not highly realistic so it isn't graphic or anything. There is some profanity in the show that is not in the film (they were trying to keep the film to a PG-13 rating). The one part of the show that some parents find objectionable (and is not featured in the movie) is a highly stylized orgy/death number called "Contact" - with attendant lyrics (some suggestive). Anything else people usually find "off putting" is also addressed in the movie.

The video and cast recording of the Broadway production is beautiful and 100 times better than the movie. I would say view (or listen) first - I'd say let her at it, just talk about it first!
