Which off broadway plays are suitable for a14 yo?
 
Her father is very picky about that kind of stuff.

What "kind of stuff"?
What are her interests? Is there a particular reason you are looking for an off broadway show rather than a broadway show where there are many several shows like the Disney shows really geared toward a young crowd.

Blue Man, Stomp, Jump, the Fantastiks

Add Fruzebruta Ior something like that) and Altar Boyz to MFNYC's list. All of these should be available on discount from broadwaybox.com

Altar Boyz is a great suggestion, especially for a teenage girl.

I am Catholic and I found Altar Boyz very offensive.

What about Grease or Mama Mia?

Grease and Mama Mia are definitely Broadway and not off-Broadway shows.

It would be hard to be offended in any way at all by the Gazillion Bubble Show!

I am batting a thousand today. I did not read this post closely either! I should take the advice I give my students...

Is this girl 14 or 4?

Is the request for off-Broadway a function of price?

Can imagine nothing worse than a "bubble show".

What's wrong with the Fantasticks for off-Broadway. It's a clasic ai first saw when I was 12 or so - and loved.

Blue Men Group is awesome. I've taken friends from the ages of 13-50 to see the show and they all loved it.

Jump can be entertaining. It's no where a master piece or even remotely artful or cultural. But it can be fun to watch as an afternoon show or something. Details here, http://www.bestofoffbroadway.com/shows/jump.html When I was there, the teenagers there were laughing so hard and seemed to be enjoying it a lot. Go search for some discount code for the show though, it does not deserve a full priced ticket.

My daughter (similar age) absolutely HATED the Fantastics.
