It is a fabulous show. I've taken the whole family before, and I'll likely taken them again.
It will be at Thalia Mara Hall.

what is age appropriate for the show - I'd be tempted to take my 3.5 year old but the rational part of me just wonders if that's a good idea

It's a clean show - nothing obscene. But they do have loud music, drums, and a lot of weird stuff going on (sometimes in the dark). I could see it being maybe a little scary for young kids. It can also be really quiet at times so you want to make sure your kid can be quiet, sit still, & not be a distraction to others. Otherwise they'll probably put the spot light on you & call you out for it.

Don't bring your 3.5 year old. Not worth it. To feel like you're not wasting your money, don't take anyone under about 10 or so. I last saw it back in Vegas in 2001, and it was phenomenal.

Blue Man Group would probably be ok for them.

Certainly no language to worry about since they don't talk. Maybe just some loud noises, but I can see a kid that age being entertained.

I get the season tickets to the Kessler Broadway shows at Thalia Mara every year, and some of the stuff parents bring their kids to amazes me. Last year for instance... I totally get kids of all ages at Peter Pan or Beauty and the Beast. Same for Shrek this year. But I saw 5 year olds at Spamalot and Young Frankenstein last year.

I've seen him 4 times in the last 20 yrs or so and he has gone down fast. The last time was @ Thalia Mara Hall and he had somebody on each arm escorting him out to a chair and he sat the whole performance. When he was done, the same two came and helped him up and off the stage. We went upstairs to a reception they were having for him and Ms. Thalia Mara after the concert and they did the same, walked him in for a few minutes, sat him down and let him sign a few autographs and then helped him out. That said, the old dude can still does 300 concerts a year and can still play the hell out of Lucille.

Show always starts a little late, so don't bother getting there early...

Heh. More fun for the rest of us already there.
