The Fickle Pickle

[mAlice]

Okay, we have an 8 month old that loves Fiddler on the Roof. Not terribly interested in anything animated. The adults in the house haven't grown tired of Fiddler yet, but I'm sure we will at some point.

We've tried The Sound of Music. Bores him. Funny Face, not even interested.

We need suggestions for musicals that might hold his attention when we need some down time.

Ready, begin!

Mary Poppins

West Side Story

Mary Poppins

West Side Story

West Side Story didn't work, but I'll try Mary Poppins. Thanks!

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang didn't work, either.

Labyrinth?

I'm guessing he digs Fiddler because of the lively music and bustling activity.

 

[vraiblonde]

Ooh, what about Footloose?

 

[stew77]

South Pacific!!

I think it's a combination of that, and I think he likes Topols voice. Whatever it is, it's mesmerizing.

Another oldie but goodie "Oklahoma "

 

[RoseRed]

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

Mama Mia

 

[RoseRed]

Yentl.

 

[Retrodeb54]

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Mama Mia

This might just be a winner.

 

[Retrodeb54]

South Pacific!!

This is very upbeat and look what you get to watch.

I don't think he likes Streisand. I know he doesn't like Neil Young!

 

[RoseRed]

I don't think he likes Streisand. I know he doesn't like Neil Young!

That suggestion was a joke.

The King and I

The King and I

Ooh, very good suggestion! It has the deep, male voice, that I think may be what he finds so captivating, singing and dancing.

He is also very excited when grandpa is talking to him, so I think a lot of it is the deep, male voice. Maybe because he always has wimmens fussin' over him.
