The kids and parents both loved it, it was sold out all 3 nights. O and her friend loved Angel and really "got" all of it except for Angel's death. They didn't really get the symbolism and asked what happened to him (although they know what AIDS is they just didn't get that he had died). The school had rated it PG13 but really there was nothing in it that I would deem inappropriate for 3rd graders, unless you haven't (or don't want) to discuss issues like homosexuality, homelessness or AIDS with your kid yet (which is cool-- you teach your kid things when they are ready to learn it).
Again, proud of the kids, proud of the school, proud of the theater director and proud of the head of school.
