Hey guys!

So I received an email today from the Spring Awakening newsletter stating:

After awakening Broadway 1 year ago with our groundbreaking Tony win for Best Musical 2007, Spring Awakening breaks the mold again with another Broadway first in...

4 DAYS and 2 HOURS

On Sunday, June 15th at 5pm, we invite you to log-on and get digital.


Does anyone have the slightest clue as to what this means?

I got this too and I actually came to BWW to see if there was a thread.

Are they streaming it online??

Got it and it says go to the website for more info and I have no clue

[oohshizz146]

Yeah! The site said NOTHING about it.

That would be REALLY cool if they did stream it online. Do you think they would do it?

See, that's what I was thinking. But doesn't the show start at 3 PM on Sundays? I too went to the website, and I could not find anything concerning this. So confused!

It starts at 2 on Sundays.

I don't get why they say "our groundbreaking Tony win." What was groundbreaking about their Tony win?

It's just publicist speak that's all.

well, if the show starts at 2, and whatever it is is at 5, could they be talking to people AFTER the show via internet??? just a thought

I doubt it's anything to actually get excited about.

[BwayBoundJoe]

Ahh, well...im sure if they were broadcasting the show online, people would know by know, TooDarnHot is probably right

[TooDarnHot]

Why would they broadcast the show?

Anyone, who is smart enough, could easily record the data ("rip" the live stream) from it and save it on their computer.

it'd be like giving away a free bootleg - only better.

I doubt they're broadcasting the show.

I was just about to ask the same thing! The site said nothing at all, and now I'm really confused. =/

It's probably the texting thing they did last year, or something like that.

I got it and interpreted it as a request to go to the SA website on Sunday before the Tony's. Otherwise, it makes absolutely no sense.

It's probably a new site.
The site has been the same boring one since previews, and features pictures and videos from the off-Broadway production.

It'll probably be updated with new cast pictures, maybe video, but who knows. Don't hope for anything too exciting... because I have a feeling its gonna be lame.

"... Spring Awakening breaks the mold again with another Broadway first in... "

That is more than a new webpage design....

I really hope they stream the show but who knows!

Why would they stream the show? That's like asking to lose tickets sales.

It probably has something to do with the Tonys

[SgtDonut]

Posted: 6/12/08 at 10:48am

Well, whatever it is. I doubt it's streaming the show, as nice as that would be. It's probably not a big deal and we're just going to have to wait until Sunday to find out what it is.

OMG THEY NEED TO STREAM IT LIVE!

[jake6970]

I don't think they'd do a video, but I'd love for them to stream live audio of the show.

[TooDarnHot]

Posted: 6/12/08 at 2:44pm

For the last time...

why would they ever stream a live show? or even a live audio feed???
