The Lion King Musical for gift

  • My children received gist tickets from someone related. It's tickets for the lion king musicals. After watching some video about it on youtube. I was horrified, and refused they go. My wife don't see anything wrong with people dressed like they where nacked, very tight same body color: it's human body and God created it, and it ballait dance ...  Children are under 8. Some stuff seem like love story, I don't think my kids need to see love story at that age. Also it look like there is some idolatry of some kinda puppet, and murder. There is also animal costume, it seem the person is doing bestiality (sex with animal) with that animal. I am sorry for the video  video opening. If you can tell what you see. Maybe there is other bad thing in it too.  I want to teach them modesty, chastity, but if I was small (even as adult now) seeing adult dancing that look naked, I would be troubled. I am sure there other kinda show they can find that is more suitable, do you have advices? Thanks.

  • The person who bought the tickets should have asked you first
    They presumed you were free to
    Go and that is always a risk
    You are right on all points
    In addition this is an extremely loud play and many small children are scared
    My cousin years ago spent a fortune only to have her children
    Screaming and they had to leave
    Good luck

  • I find that most musicals today are to promote immorality. Anymore, the arts is trash which mocks Christianity.  By taking the children to live theatre also sparks interest in taking part of musicals and shows.  It grooms them to pride and future abuse. 

    My sister is obsessed with theatre which is most sodomites.  My one niece went to school for performing arts then headed to community college. 



    May God bless you and keep you

  • I used to have a relative who regularly invited me to attend musical theater with her, once or twice a year.  I used to like it.

    I'm not sure if it became worse or if my conscience became more sensitive but I became more and more uncomfortable with it and finally had to stop. For one thing, I noticed that virtually every show, even some for children, either overtly or subtly promoted sodomy.  At the very least, clothing is likely to be immodest.

    Something more suitable might be a production of the ballet "Nutcracker".  Even then, you would need to be cautious.

    Ballet??  Absolutely NOT.
    Find a family friendly community theatre that does old plays.  They won't be as big and fancy, or expensive, as the major productions, but they will be more wholesome.  
    You may have to drive a bit to attend, but that is better in the long run because your children won't ask to become actors.

    Thank you for correcting me.  Could you explain in more detail what is wrong with ballet.  I am a convert so I often need extra help with this sort of thing.

  • No, gαy Broadway musicals (and they're all gαy) are not ok.
    Neither is ballet.
    I cannot believe Jaynek needs an explanation. Do you use your eyes? No, that's right, you don't since you are blind to the horizon.
    You must also be blind to the giant male genitals and butts in white tights in your daughter's fsces at the ballet.

    Are you saying that the male dancers tempt women to lust or that they are homoerotic?  I am not blind, but I do not tend to be tempted by that sort of thing myself, so I would not notice.

  • It's unfortunate that nearly everything that's considered to be entertainment these days has to be suspected as being tainted with immorality. But that's just how it is. 

    I know that I often have hopes that a film won't have anything objectionable, but more often than not, it does. 

    I was fortunate to have a little local theatre that for the most part only had family-friendly plays (protestant theatre), that my sons and I volunteered at many years ago (when I was homeschooling), before I converted. I haven't been there for many years now since I converted, but they are still in business. 
    "It is licit to resist a Sovereign Pontiff who is trying to destroy the Church. I say it is licit to resist him in not following his orders and in preventing the execution of his will. It is not licit to Judge him, to punish him, or to depose him, for these are acts proper to a superior."

    Clothing, on or off stage, should not be revealing (males and females both).

    We lead by example and attending ballet shows support of it, which we cannot do.

    It is good it does not tempt you to sin but it tempts others, and children are scandalized by it.

    Thank you.  That is a clear and helpful explanation.

  • You could probably sell the tickets online. I've never done that so I don't know it works. I assume it works like Ebay.   You could use the money to buy your children a better gift or take them to the zoo.

    As a good Catholic you shouldn't do that, either.  We lead by example.  If it is not good then you should throw the tickets away.  Simple as that.

    No.
    It's not about temptation.
    Its about scandal.
    You say you are not blind, but you say you don't notice male genitals and butts in your face or the female's exposed crotches??
    Well guess what? Children DO notice.
    And we're not to scandalize them ( read your Bible).
    Playing classical music while they dance indecently in skintights doesn't make it acceptable.

    OK.  Thank you for explaining.
