O, I never said I disliked the show because of the "rabid fans." I just think it's a shame because it does turn people away from the show and it kind of makes people go into the show with a pre-conceived notion. I'm sure because of obsessive fans, people already dislike the show without even stepping into the Eugene O'Neill. I remember one person who lives far from New York saying how he was no longer interested in seeing the show anymore because of the fanbase. I thought Spring Awakening would be one of those shows that would make people really ponder if they really liked the show. I thought it would bring up intelligent theatre discussion. I didn't think it would ever become a mainstream musical. And I certainly didn't think it would bring out so much negativity. And for that reason, I am disappointed a bit. But that in no way means that I have now decided to dislike the show. I am very much a supporter of the show and I hope it fairs well at the Tonys. Should it win and be nominated for everything? No, but I hope it gets whatever it deserves. As lovely as she may be, Remy Zaken doesn't deserve any kind of nomination. That's the kind of stuff I'm upset at. Does that make my point a little clearer?
