Clay
In spite of a warning that Clay features "loud music, adult language and strong content," traditional theatergoers surrounded me when I caught the "hip hop musical" last weekend at Kansas City's Copaken Stage in the H&R Block building downtown. It's awkward hearing the f-word and an account of a shocking sexual encounter while sitting amid elderly matrons. That objection aside, I loved Clay. Here's the Star's review. I consider the production's musical content at There Stands the Glass.

I was thinking of going with my 13-year old, HiB. What do you think? Appropriate, or not? I let her watch "Gossip Girl" ... not without some trepidation.

Spoiler alert!
Unless you're Rick In PV, read no further.
Seriously. Stop now.
It's a tough call, Rick. Obsenities are not an issue for a 13-year-old. But there are two really heavy shockers. The first is a devastating on-stage suicide.
The second concern is a graphic depiction of a sexual encounter between a teen and his stepmother.
Don't let the fact that it's a one-man show fool you- the actor is so talented that you think you see everything.
