This very random, but how much nudity is there and who does it come from. I want to take my mom to see this show when it comes to Tampa because she's only seen musical comedies so I wanna give her something new. But she might be appalled per say if there is amples amount of nudity.
the only thing that is exposed during the hayloft scene is wendla's breasts and melchior's butt. people take their parents to see it all the time. the real concern, IMO, would be the masturbation scene. mom's usually tend to cringe away from that.
You don't "see" anything during the masturbation scene except for some thigh on some occasions. And it's a comic scene which takes the edge of it.
However....I think the sex scene itself is more graphic that the nudity. (Additionally: I am an old fart...and I love the show...but it would make some folks uncomfortable.)
It's also TECHNICALLY no worse than an R rated movie....but since it's LIVE it seems more....raw? intense? (having problems finding the right word.)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Nothing makes my day more than watching "Spring Awakening" and hearing the old people around me gasp and begin to ask their significant others "What's going on Charles? What kind of show is this!?" and things like that.
I know I couldn't take my Mom. Not only does he masturbate, but he also ejaculates into his hands, then smells it. I found it funny, but I think older people may find it a bit uncomfortable to watch. Also, the scene in which Wenlda/Melchior expose themselves is during a scene in which they have intercourse, which a lot of people see as rape. Also, if you're mom is offended at foul language, she may not appreciate the song "Totally F**ked." Your mom should have a VERY open mind.
