I saw the show 3 times at the Atlantic and it was amazing. I can't wait to see it on Broadway--hope it does well. We don't have enough truly bold original shows anymore....
I saw this at the Atlantic and was absolutely blown away. I have never seen such a unique production, and can not wait to see it on the big stage. Everyone needs to go see this and appreciate it fully.
The cast is filled with beautiful people. The story is powerful and the music will shock you. So so good. This cast and creative team should be very proud.
I saw the show also. Can't wait for the Original Cast recording. Will be interesting to see how it is staged for Broadway. I also wonder what changes to the show itself will be made. It does have a few flaws but all in all is an engaging show with great music.
Spring AwakeningThe new musical Spring Awakening arrives on Broadway following a sold-out run at the Atlantic Theater. The show features music by Grammy Award nominee Duncan Sheik, book and lyrics by Steven Sater, choreography by Bill T. Jones, and direction by Tony Award nominee Michael Mayer. Based on Frank Wedekind's masterpiece The Awakening of Spring, Spring Awakening is the contemporary musical adaptation of one of literature's most controversial plays. Spring Awakening boldly depicts a dozen young people and how they make their way through the thrilling, complicated, confusing, and mysterious time of their sexual awakening. Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater's score feature songs that illuminate the urgency of adolescent self-discovery, the burning intensity of teen friendships and the innate suspicion of the uncomprehending adult world. The story centers around a brilliant young student named Melchior, his troubled friend Moritz, and Wendla, a beautiful young girl on the verge of womanhood.
