Seeing Spring Awakening and Jersey Boys in the same day?

Wednesday the 11th. Could someone let me know if this is feasible or would be so rushed there'd be a likelihood of not making curtain? (SA matinee; JB evening) Thanks!

EDIT: Yes, I changed this originally from SA and Zorro to SA and Jersey Boys. Seeing Spring Awakening and Jersey Boys in the same day?

Assuming one is a matinee you can easily do both. Spring Awakening is at the Lyric Hammersmith, a stone's throw from the Hammersmith tube stop. Hop on the Picadilly line and it's about twenty-five minutes to Leicester Square where the Garrick theatre is also close to the tube. Or vice versa.
Faced with these Loreleis, what man can moralize!

Thanks everyone!

We're leaning towards not seeing SA at all since we get in to Heathrow at 7 a.m. after spending way too much time on a flight from San Francisco, and the rest of our days are pretty booked (at least for the remainder of the pre-West End SA run). But will definitely post if we see SA after all. :)

Not to be picky CONAries, but its not completely original. The book sticks very close (except for some scene ordering and toning down of the rape scene) to the Wedekind play. It's still amazing though :)

Ok, but its a new concept for musical theatre, of course it's not original compared to the play, but it's safe to say there's no other show like it! (Except the play) And from what I have read, people think the lyric production is far superior to the US productions, the acting quality is INCREDIBLE, not a single weak actor (even the swings and ensemble hold there own and make you look at them!) and from what I have heard (although of cause I WOULD think this) it works much better with English Accents. The slight music changes also make it even better!

Actually, I won't admit this very often, but the musical book doesn't stick as closely to the playtext as I thought it did. I've been rereading it, and am planning on doing a thorough reread immediately before seeing it again at the Novello.

With one real exception and one about equal, the London cast are running rings around the original Broadway cast, so I do recommend Spring Awakening if you think you can. Check the matinee time though! It was 1.30pm when I went, and I very nearly didn't talk my way out of work early enough. O_O
