i just saw spring awakening today at a matinee..[and now can finally talk about it!]
all i have to say is; wow. just, wow.
this show is.. there are no words. literally i was speechless.
this show, this.. piece of art, is the most beautiful piece of theatre i have ever seen. [and i have seen my fair share]
i have never, connected in such a way with anything ever before. i am just amazed and in awe. i am inspired. i just really, felt the music. and those of you who have seen it know what i mean. it's just that powerful. i am just so, affected by this musical. i am truly touched. and it's frustrating because whenever i try to put the way this show made me feel/the way i feel about it into words, it sounds so lame. but it is the truth, really.
and being a teenager myself, i really relate. this stuff really does happen. maybe not to this calipur all the time, but it is realistic.
it is absolutely something everyone needs to see, and most definitely all teens. i know every teenager can relate to this on some level.
i am just so happy and impressed and feel really very very lucky to have gotten a chance to experience this.
and i met the cast, all of them. this is probably the kindest and most generous cast i have ever met. not only did ALL of them come out to meet, greet, sign, and photo.. [in the bitter bitter cold, let me tell you, i was out there for over an hour and could not feel my fingers, but that is a different story] but they stayed much longer than they had to to talk to us.
take johnathan gallagher, he stayed probably the longest. talking to me for at least 15 minutes. seriously. we talked about a lot of things (and i told him i was rooting for him for the big T, haha) and the show and what not, and he was like "yes yes! you really got it!" which is awesome because that just reiterates how much i connected. i just, i understand. he even remembered me from when i met him after rabbithole. he is such a talented guy. [and my favorite, can you tell?]
and we had a poster to be signed that is going to be auctioned off for bc/efa, and they were all so enthusiastic about it, and jonathan groff told us this story about he & bc/efa. they are such a terrific cast. i honestly hope they go far, this show is too incredible to be missed. and i just hope the tony voters realize and recognize this show the way it should be recognized.
which is why i am ordering onstage tickets to see it again. =)
so amazing. guys, if you haven't already, or hell, even if you have... you must go see spring awakening. one of the best and most memorable experiences of my life. honestly.
lots of love for spring awakening! <3
can you tell i liked it, just a little? =)
thanks for letting me gush.
hear my song; it was made for the time when you don't know where to go, listen to the song that i sing, you'll be fine..
