If you’ve got little Disney fans in your house, Disney Live! Three Classic Fairy Tales is just the ticket for a fun time.  My daughter and I got to check out this fun show in NYC over Spring Break and here are my top 10 reasons you’ll love it…

1 – The three plays – Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast – are short and sweet which is great for kiddie attention spans. This show is ideal for new theater patrons and the intermission in the middle of the second act provides a nice break for questions, snacks and potty breaks.

2 – It is a great option for families with boys and girls since the plays are geared toward everyone.

3 – The characters get interactive so kids aren’t forced to sit quietly. This is key for little kids and when Snow White asks the crowd “Should I eat the apple,?” everyone is excited to shout “No!!”.

4 – Prices start at just $15 making this an affordable family outing.

5 – Three Classic Fairy Tales means three classic fairy tales.  Everything about this show is traditional Disney from Cinderella’s fairy godmother singing Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo, to the dancing candelabra and utensils dancing around to Be Our Guest and Seven Dwarfs singing Heigh Ho. I think this is a nice touch for small kids just learning these stories and characters.

6 – Since the audience is 50 percent children, chances are really good your kids will be able to see the stage, especially with younger kids sitting on parents’ laps.

7 – Classic Disney characters including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy interact with the characters and audience throughout the show.

8 – Kids and adults will delight as the characters dance around in colorful costumes.  Although the actors are lip-syncing, there is a lot of singing throughout the plays which helps keep the attention of smaller guests.

9 – Disney productions are known for their special effects and this show does not disappoint.  The show’s special effects are magical – think glittery sparks and smoke – without being noisy or scary which is great for little kids.

10 – There are some frightening witches and scary moments but they are brief and not really too scary.  By the time my daughter turned around and said she was scared, the scene was over.

The show is playing across the United States until January 2016. For more information about Disney Live!, visit their website.
