BBWWS with young children?

[IsobelJackmummy]

Hi,

I know this has probably been asked before, but I couldn't find anything sorry!

With the good offer available on the french site, we are considering going to BBWWS when we are there in October.

But
-what is the show like, and is it suitable for a 2 and 4 year old?
-would I need to buy a ticket for the 2 year old, or does the usual 'under 3 free' rule apply? (and if he is free, would he get a seat? It doesn't matter about food, he can have his sisters, she hardly eats anything!)

I would appreciate any feedback! Thanks

under threes are free but they are not guaranteed a seat. if your row is full the 2 year old would have to sit on your lap

Hi, my 3 year old who is quiet, shy, hates loud noises and sitting still, absolutely loved it! He was transfixed through the whole show (although I had to put my hands over his ears every time Annie Oakley fired her gun!) It is the thing that he most wants to do next time. Think he particularly enjoyed banging the cutlery on the table. I think the seats were benches, so as long as you squeeze up it shouldnt be a problem.

I've got a silly question - what language is the show in? Thanks.

Not at all silly, that's actually really valid, the show was a mixture of French and English. In parts they would say something in French then repeat it in English others it would just be one or the other but in no way did it take anything away from the show if you couldn't understand everything they said. hth

is it correct you get given cowboy hats? if so do you keep them?

yes it is and yes you do! They give you a hat with a coloured ribbon around it depending upon which area you're seated in, we were red which is the main stage end

do the kids get one too?

yes everyone gets one, pay attention to the colour on your hats as when they open up the main show they'll call colours at different entrances

when you look at the 2 sets of stairs there are pictures in the relevant colours, so it makes sense to be towards the right set of stairs for your hat colour - we hadnt noticed and nearly got trampled trying to get across the room !!

Can't wait to see this in August. Getting a hat is a bonus too.

thanks that really helps, my 4 year old doesn't like noise, which was putting me off, but it sounds like they will both like it!
