I know I'm in the minority, but I think Spring Awakening is completely perfect for the whole "Rob Marshall" style movie musical resurgence. I don't think Rob should direct it, but his concept of songs needing some kind of device as an excuse for modern audiences to accept the songs would work perfectly for this since the songs are basically MTV music videos designed to be in complete contrast to the repressed German setting. I almost feel like the concept created for the stage show would work even better on film.
