Glitter,
There was a show called B'klyn (Brooklyn), The Musical that originated at the Denver Civic Theatre and spent a few months on Broadway. I saw it both places and there was very little change. Of course it wasn't a huge hit either, however, Eden Espanosa who I think is still playing Elphaba in NY was in both B'klyn casts -- in fact, she quit as Idina Menzel's understudy in Wicked to rejoin B'klyn in NY.
One of the minor leads in Legally Blonde is another local Denver girl. This has been a huge year for friends of our son. Hope some of the luck his older friends are having rubs off. Another of his friends is in Avenue Q in NY.
BBelle,
Wicked would be fine for a twelve year old.
I don't know how much the Music Hall show costs, but you would certainly pay $100 plus each for the Wicked tickets, and $250-$350 per hotel night in a decent hotel in Mid-Town -- so you're over $1000 already. MOMA and the other stuff are not terribly expensive.
To me, it doesn't sound too bad, but I've never traveled to NY on a package deal like that -- I've usually gone on business or lived there for extended periods on temporary jobs. There are deals to be found, but you're going at a very busy time, and it's worth something just to live without the brain damage of trying to organize everything yourself.
I'd be interested to know if anyone still living in The City would agree.
