Off Broadway Theater Family Shows

What are the best Off Broadway Theater Shows currently playing that both kids and adults can enjoy? This is a question being asked by many theater-goers these days. In an effort to answer this question, I have put together a list of shows that you may find suitable for both adults and kids. These shows, in my opinion, are the best Off Broadway Shows to see this season. Call the theaters directly if you have any questions about the show and its contents and of course if you've seen all of these...there's always Off Off Broadway

• Altar Boyz
  
  I had the pleasure of seeing this Off Broadway Theater show not too long ago. It is basicly the story of a boy band which has a Christian theme. It begins with their last concert tour and in a very light plot reveals the history of the band. It is packed full of lively songs for both young and old. I honestly can say that I left the show feeling entertained and in an upbeat mood. From the comments I heard around me, most of my fellow audience members also enjoyed the show. This show is playing at the:
