Parents need to know that this is a great classic musical for the whole family.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why Dolly doesn't just tell Horace the truth about what she thinks is right for him and for Ermengarde. How does she help the people in the movie to think differently about themselves, and how does that help them change? What does Dolly mean when she sings "Before the Parade Passes By"? When the young couples sing "We've Got Elegance," do they really think they are fancy? What would you do if you were Barnaby and Cornelius at the Harmonia Gardens? What is the difference between Dolly's view of money and Horace's view?
