Just watched a video of the show live and I thought it was awful. Did this do very well?

Your post is awful, so are illegal videos and posts like this one don't do very well.

P.S. Spring Awakening is still playing and it DOES well, thank you.

I tried finding other threads on this musical but nothing seemed to come up that was really relevant.

1. It won 8 Tony Awards
2. It's still playing.
3. It's called a "concept"
4. So you dislike a show because of microphones?
5. The origianal Grease did it (don't know about the current revival); and I think THAT was pretty "successful".

6. Sheesh.


If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Shocking. I think you didn't search well enough.

"Just watched a video of the show live and I thought it was awful. Did this do very well?"


Um, why don't you check the grosses. It has been doing very well, although pulling in less money lately, but still has done well overall.

This thread is dumb. Sorry.

um no offense but where have you been
its hard not to find stuff about spring awakening all over this site
not that its a bad thing.....just because it is that darn successful
well i am going to be the nice one (because i know what its like to be ganged up on on this site) and tell you that if you have anyother questions about it, feel free to pm me.....its probably best not to post any other questions on this site because before you get an ansrew you will get about 10 people telling you how stupid you are for even asking
god bless

I'm sorry, but this person is practically asking for it. They post how they didn't like Spring Awakening after watching a BOOTLEG and then can't find any threads about the show? Hmmm...

Ask all the questions you want, but make sure it hasn't been discussed a million times before and it is phrased more intelligently...

When the actors pull out their microphones, this represents their "inner thoughts" as opposed to when they are singing w/o the mikes. It represents a transition.

I did a Google search last night and couldn't believe it won 8 Tonys and couldn't believe it. What were the critics thinking. The music is horrendous. It was also compared to Rent which is not even comparable. Rent I actually love even tho I do not like rock music. I actually had to look up the synopsis after I watched it because it wasn't real clear what happened especially with the main girl. The search I did on here the first page of search had nothing to do with Spring Awakening.

Note I have listened to the cast cd too and it is just as bad so it's not just the video I watched.

If you didn't like the fact that they pulled out handheld mics how can you like musicals at all? If you're criticizing the mics then you should be criticizing the fact that they all broke out into perfectly harmonious song and dance.

The show is soo overrated, and why is the poster allowed to post about bootleg copies that he watched..what's the point of this thread? a review of show from a bootleg video? lol!

Technically~ you dont see the show, if youve NEVER been to the theater-its a different experience than watching bootleg videos.

Gosh! I do admire you though for having the courage to post a review from watching it from a bootleg...very illegal, honey! re: Spring Awakening
