Peter and The Wolf

I'm taking my 5 year old to see Peter and The Wolf on Friday at La Mama Theatre in Melbourne. I remember being excited but also scared when I first saw a tv show of the production shown sometime in the 1970s. Prokofiev's music has a haunting feel, something I love still.
Its very dramatic and beautiful, and Im pretty sure my son will enjoy it, he doesnt scare easily and he quite likes being frightened in that half laughing hysterically half terrified kind of way! This is recommended for 4-11 yr olds and I think its been given a bit of a comic twist!
Did you see Peter and The Wolf as a child?

We love Peter and the Wolf at our house. We listen to the David Bowie narrated version and watch the Disney animation. The 2006 version is quite beautiful, though a little scarier? Had no idea it was on at La Mama, thanks! We'll be going!

How was the show? I was thinking of taking my almost 4 year old daughter.
