Wow. Am I the only one to think that the choreography of Spring Awakening was one of the low points?

I think the positive notices for the choreography in Spring Awakening are from a desire to recognize Bill T. Jones than recognizing the work itself.

Bill T. Jones is a ridiculously awesome artist who's done some of the most amazing things I've seen with dance. He's definitely an acquired taste though.

I also thought the choreography was distracting in Spring, but I can understand the desire to notice such a great artist.

It's good to know that Spring Awakening is pretty much on all the best-of lists.

And that's not all of 'em. Spring was also on the Broadway.com's Top 5, and The Daily News and Theatremania's Top 10 Lists. Also, as pointed out in another thread, Entertainment Weekly did not review it in time for it to be included. It will be on their "Must" list in Jan.

I loved the choreography. Unobstrusive, yet perfectly captures the nervous, pent up energy of youth. Choreography so different from what Broadway is used to.
