NEW YORK (CBS 2) — From Broadway to fun history lessons to kids’ imaginations going wild, Time Out New York Kids has some great suggestions for your family this weekend.

Executive Editor Rory Halperin speaks with CBS 2’s Otis Livingston to talk about everything families can do.

1. Broadway Playhouse: Rogers & Hammerstein

Description:

Composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein created a string of popular Broadway musicals in the ‘40s and ‘50s during what is considered the golden age of the medium. Five of their shows-Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I and The Sound of Music-were outstanding successes. Their shows (and their film versions) garnered 34 Tony Awards, 15 Academy Awards, two Grammys and a Pulitzer Prize.

Description:

Come join the ultimate play date and dance, stretch and giggle with your new BFFs – The Ohmies. Get your kids moving and let their imaginations run wild as they sing along to original music, hop like a grasshopper, slither like a snake, fly like a butterfly and help The Ohmies shake off the worries. It’s much more than theater; its a one-of-a-kind interactive musical experience for kids ages 3 to 8.
