There's a new Spring Awakening Article in the New York Post today that mentions my review of said show. Although my name is spelled wrong and is referenced in a slightly condescening manner, I still think it's pretty cool. Here it is
"Winning a Tony this year is like winning Best Attendance in third grade: no one will care but the winner and their mom."

"I have also met him in person, and I find him to be quite funny actually. Arrogant and often misinformed, but still funny."

whaat?? I don't care how green you are, no one would suggest trumping up college review quotes in lieu of the raves that established critics have given the show. That comment in particular strikes me as untrue, taken out of context, or maliciously manipulated (no offense to you, Character Actor). It just makes me wonder how accurate everything else is. I know that whenever I brainstorm with a bunch of people, there are ideas which come out jokingly or ideas that were never going to be implemented seriously.
Character Actor, did the production contact you to review the show? Because if so, I think using the colleges as an avenue to get the word out to a younger audience is just SMART. I don't know why other Broadway shows don't do it more often.
ew...Nick, that was so uncalled for. I went and read all of the posts you've posted on this bulletin board and you never have anything good to say. So, from now on, I'm ignoring all of your posts. John--I really enjoyed reading your review. Thanks for posting it, man, and congrats on the exposure your review received!
condoms would be a cool idea and it isnt that difficult to get some sort of tie-in with colleges. I know NYU has a ticket central with a weekly eblast where they list tickets they have for sale, sometimes simply promoting a shows rush policy- not to mention Avenue Q just had a talk back type thing with NYU too. Maybe their flyer should include some of the things Melchiors document is meant to have in it.
You need a pretty big dick to get the full name of the show on a condom. I'm just sayin'...
"I'm learning to dig deep down inside and find the truth within myself and put that out. I think what we identify with in popular music more than anything else is when someone just shares a truth that we can relate to. That's what I'm searching for in my music." - Ron Bohmer
"I broke the boundaries. It wasn't cool to be in plays- especially if you were in sports & I was in both." - Ashton Kutcher
Good point. How about Spring Awakening soap-on-a-rope? Sorta like Irish Spring.
