I basically agree with you. I don't know the OP's intent or just what kind of group of kids he/she is bringing, but seems to me that would witness more adult chatter and behavior (that's behaviour, for you Newton wink) walking through Times Square before the curtain ever rises. Kids are growing up very fast these days and they sure seem to be able to handle more adult themes and words -- and understand their appropriateness and inappropriateness -- than I ever did. It has been fascinating to watch my nieces and nephews grow up and compare and contrast how much worldly they seem than I was at their age. And these are incredibly bright and very well-adjusted kids. Even Disney films and shows have adult words and elements. Disney, Sesame Street, et al recognize their role in treating kids differently today while still respecting boundaries. I hope the trip you are planning is a wonderful experience for the kids.
