i almost never recommend aronoff shows for children under 13 unless they’re incredibly mature for their age. it’s hard for kids to sit still through the first half (usually hour and a half) then get a break and have to do it all over again for the second half. they’re bored. i sat next to a girl around 8 this week at My Fair Lady and she could not sit still, poor girl was bored to death. which is unfortunate for her, AND for all the people around her who miss parts of the show bc of talking, asking when it’s going to be over, asking questions about the show, wiggling, standing up and down, crinkling candy wrappers, etc.
Also interested in this and don’t have any tips, but wondering when and where the Moana Jr you mentioned is happening? Can’t find anything in web search
Here are two sources that I'm aware of.
This is great - didn’t know about Mad Cap Puppets
Children’s Theater is excellent for young audiences. The shows are engaging and just the right amount of time.

Whew! Thanks for the great response! I’m going to continue searching for JR shows and I’ll make sure to check out Cincinnati USA. Appreciate it!!
Not theatre, but the Cincinnati Symphony does kid-oriented concerts periodically called "LolliPops"
Added to the list - thanks!

Just sent a PM with the photo 👍
Avoid the child theater. they get this crazy guy from channel 12 to perform from time to time.
