SPRING AWAKENING cast recording thoughts — Page 2

Matt,I credit The Guilty Ones.org.

Listen to what’s in the heart of a child
A song so big in one so small
Soon you will hear where beauty lies
You’ll hear and you’ll recall
The sadness, the doubt, all the loss, the grief
Will belong to some play from the past
As the child leads the way to a dream of belief
A time of hope through the land…

A summer’s day…
A mother sings
A song of purple summer
Through the heart of everything

And heaven waits…
So close it seems
To show her child the wonders
Of a world beyond her dreams

The earth will wave with corn
The day so wide, so warm
And mares will neigh with
Stallions that they mate, foals they’ve borne

And all shall know the wonder
Of Purple Summer…

And so I wait…
The swallow brings
A song of what’s to follow
The glory of the spring

The fences sway
The porches swing
The clouds begin to thunder
Crickets wander murmuring…

The earth with wave with corn
The day so wide, so warm
And mares will neigh with
Stallions that they mate, foals they’ve borne

And all shall know the wonder
I will sing the song of Purple Summer

All shall know the wonder
I will sing the song of Purple Summer

All shall know the wonder
I will sing the song of Purple Summer…

Mama Who Bore Me and its reprise annoy me the most.
I HATE the violin thing at the beginning, and I miss the three bumps before the reprise.

I would love a live recording, someday.

As much as I like the show, I just can't stand the recording.

misschung....The music rocks live. I saw it at the Atlantic and my friend and I were pretty blown away. I chose most of the shows that we saw lasy year and I remember reading about Spring Awakening and for some reason, out of the potential off Broadway shows that we were going to see (We saw 3) Spring Awakenings logo peaked my interest. So glad I got the tickets. And really glad we saw it in a smaller venue. What a great evening.

thanks - I think I'm going to get a ticket in a week or so, because I liked the music but you can tell it has the potential to be much more powerful live. Not to mention the visual attraction :o)

We're going to see the show in August, but someone bought us the cast recording today. Will it ruin the show if we listen to it first? We listened to Ave Q before seeing it and wish we would have waited.... Just curious to read your opinions. Thanks!

Thanks!
