The traditional musicals such as Chicago or Les Miserables may be too heavy for first time theatre goers, so to attract a younger audience a new musical has been produced.
INTO THE HOODS
'A London fairytale' is Cinderella with a twist - an urban twist. The music is a mixture from Bob Marley to Jay-Z. The dancing is far from Ballet with street and break dance. The idea behind the creation is to bring modern, street issues that young people can relate to and combine it with a classic fairytale.
However the production finished in August but clips and rehearsals are available on Youtube
or Facebook
If you like what you see then musicals may be for you.

I recently saw The Lion King and it was a brilliant experience. The costumes and the set were very elaborate and really brought the production to life. Timon and Pumbaa were hilarious and added contrast to the serious scenes involving Simba. Even if you have never seen the Disney film, the stage production is very easy to follow and is definitely a must see.
