I follow Broadwayworld.com boards constantly and have never posted before. Yes I live in Philadelphia but I am fortunate enough to make it up to NYC and do Student Rush for a lot of Broadway Shows.
Spring Awakening is one of my fav shows so when I saw this was posted about the production I JUST saw, I thought why not respond. I can't speak for anyone else (yea doesn't Philly Theatre Guy, Patti Lover and AMS seem ridiculous) but I just want to state how I felt and contribute to the threa

Excuse you, I am not a shill. I don't know why I am allowed to state my opinion? At least I went to the show and came up with a real review. I thought this board was to comment on this company's performance. If anything I was negative about how their Wendla and Moritz performances were the worst performances I have seen in Philadelphia.

Obviously there were some things that didn't make sense. For example the hayloft was a diner counter haha. But the maywine/word of your body scene played out really well and so did the Hanschen masturbation/Desdemona's photo was a 1950s dirty magazine. It was as if the director was trying to make it "the meeting place" for this small German community.
I totally get what everyone is saying why a 50s diner? seems like a crack pot idea. However, during the preshow when the actors were onst

Thank you so much PattiLvr for posting an actual review to the show! I saw it today to a completely sold out house. First of all, the 50's diner concept made sense. They had a background of the period before you went into the space which was awesome. The ensemble rocked, the choreography was sexy, and it was cool to see the whole audience sway back and forth during Song of Purple Summer.
However, I couldn't agree with you more, the two leads had no chemistry at all! It looked so forced.
