If you’re a desperate parent looking for some fun to do with your kids this weekend, look no further than the Rock and Roll Playhouse’s concert series. They’ve got the music of parent-approved artists like the Ramones, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Dave Matthews, Hamilton the musical, David Bowie, Tom Petty, Bob Marley and more, in a kid-friendly atmosphere. Plus, beer. I mean–it doesn’t get better than that.
I took my daughter to the Music of the Grateful Dead for Kids show, and it was a hit. Not only were there so many Deadhead parents there loving the music, but there were adorable tie-dye clad toddlers bopping around, and the RRPH staff had activities like the parachute game on-hand to entertain them. My daughter was smiling ear to ear, and my husband and I felt like we could actually enjoy ourselves.
The shows are aimed for three to eight-year-olds, and as I mentioned, in addition to the shows they also offer games, activities, dancing, storytelling, and more. You’ve got to check it out!
