Excerpt Below from "Mary Poppins" as seen on the official show website

Have you ever wondered how long your younger kids or younger brother and sister can sit still? Can they make it through a show? It depends upon, among other factors, their age, whether or not they have attended theater before and whether or not the show appeals to them. You can get information about the suggested age group and age limits at most of the Theater Websites. If in doubt, ask questions...call the box office.

Included below is most of the information you need about Broadway Shows for Kids but don't hesitate to ask for more if need be.
