LO is 21 months and so far we've taken her to a Yo Gabba Gabba show (she loves that show) and I just bought tickets to the Hanneford Circus. I figured she would enjoy seeing all the animals do tricks.
What shows have you seen/want to see with your LO?

I can't wait to do things like that with my lo! My mom took me to see the nutcracker when I was 2. And every year since then, so I'm really looking forward to take lo. But I was a very quiet kid, so I'll just have to see how she is in a couple of years.

@mrbee: It was somewhere between 1 hr to 1.5 hrs including intermission. We were right up front so it was a little scary and she sat in DH's lap the whole time but she enjoyed it. And then afterwards we got her a Foofa hoodie and the YGG boom box that plays their songs so it was a great day for her!
@artbee: Ooooh The Nutcracker! DH and I were talking about that. I have never seen it. I will definitely take her this year.

We haven't yet, but I totally want to take her Yo Gabba Gabba next time they come through town. We're taking her to her first hockey game soon, and she went to a minor league baseball game this summer and had a blast!

@Andrea: I love it! But my mom and I always get annoyed if kids are talking throughout the whole thing. I'm ok with a question here or there, but we pay a lot of money for the ballet and want to enjoy it! I don't want my kid to be that annoying kid and ruin someone else's experience.
But my favorite part of the nutcracker ...seeing all the cute girls in their pretty Christmas dresses!

Yo Gabba Gabba is an awesome show! For LOs and parents!! I loved that show. Took my LO when she was almost 3. I have heard of guest star appearances like Snoop Dog at the show in LA but we saw the show in Boston and got some band I hadn't heard of, but they were still good. Would totally recommend that show to families of tots.
We also took her to a Nick Jr show at Radio City. She was barely 2 at the time but had fun dancing. I think she was in total disbelief that the characters were live and in person! We also sometimes take her to local neighborhood kiddie concerts especially in the summer.
I'd love to take her to the Nutcracker but will probably wait until she's 5 or 6 unless I find a child-friendly show before that. no way could my 4 yr old sit through that yet!
I've been thinking about circus tickets next too! Have fun and report back!

@NYCaliMama: Our guest at YGG was Biz Markie! It was awesome. LO totally learned how to beat box from him.
Will let you know about the circus.

@Andrea: oh yes, we saw Biz Markie too. It was adorable when he would ask kids from the audience to beat box on stage! I think he tours with them to every show, but I heard there were other celebs at some other ones in addition to him too, but it's always a surprise at the show. I went to college with a girl who was Brobee last year!

My BIL bought us tickets to the big apple circus last year. It was great. It's not a big venue so there aren't any bad seats. He loved it.

@artbee:
We also see the Nutcracker every year. I just found out I was pregnant this last Christmas and I started tearing up when I saw the little girls and their pretty dresses! (thanks pregnancy hormones!)
We also see a lot of Classical Music concerts and I can't wait to take our LO. I do worry about the LO making noise though. It would be HUMILIATING to have to walk out of the concert hall with everyone giving us the evil eye!

@marley: its a great tradition, isn't it?! My mom and I have all the music, dances, etc memorized.
