Posted: 10/15/06 at 12:08pmAlright, I am today forced to make the decision between seeing High Fidelity or Spring Awakening in about a month's time. Do the good people of BWW have any advice?

that is rather tough, considering they are both very different, and such
having not seen or heard much about either of them, i would go with SPRING AWAKENING.

I haven't seen either.
But, so far, all reviews I've heard of HIGH FIDELITY have been lukewarm stating that a lot of the show is forgettable.
I could not be more excited for SPRING AWAKENING, however. The Off-Broadway reviews were stellar and the music I've heard has been very good.
I'd go with SPRING.

Posted: 10/15/06 at 12:14pmThanks for the advice- after head bopping to the broadway.com video of "The Bitch Called Living", I am pretty sure that I will end up choosing Spring Awakening.

Posted: 10/15/06 at 12:14pmHaven't seen either, but based on what I've seen of each Spring Awakening is the winner.

Posted: 10/15/06 at 12:48pmI have only seen Spring Awakening and I enjoyed it a lot. Plan to see it again on Broadway when I am in New York this Spring.

Posted: 10/15/06 at 2:31pmI've only seen High Fidelity, I loved it, but I would say Spring Awakening. High Fidelity is funny and fun, but not much more.
Whatever happened to class?

Having seen both, I would also say Spring Awakening. Much more inspired and a very different show than anything out there right now.

According to Dictionary.com, yes it is, but I would think it's an awkward word to use. However, it is incorrect grammar to say "most unkindest." It would either be "most unkind" or "unkindest," never both. I'm just saying.

Posted: 10/15/06 at 4:59pmI don't know anything about Spring Awakening but I was sort of disappointed with High Fidelity. Spring Awakening seems to be ahead here though, so follow everyone elses advice.

Posted: 10/15/06 at 5:15pmI've only seen HF, but I really enjoyed it. I don't know anything about Spring Awakening, though.
