"When I saw it during a preview their was a mother and her daughter watching it and they walked out after the masturbation part."


oh, the irony...

Not allowing teenagers to see Spring Awakening is bullcrap. Sex, nudity, homosexuality, suicide...teenagers, and even preteens, see this everyday on TV, on the internet and in movies. At least the way these issues are presented in Spring Awakening is tasteful and has a point to it.

I do hope people, especially adoloscents as well as their parents, come to see this show and that it will have a great impact on this generation as much or even more than Rent has.

That was exactly what the show was talking about, parents not being upfront about sexuality and trying to "beat around the bush". I just think that it is going to be hard for some parents to get by it. I am not saying that it is right I just think that it may be a problem. I hope that parents will see past it and understand that it is a lot more artful way to learn about sexuality.

Indeed, it is ironic. Anyway, Spring Awakening is a show that deserves to run for a long time. For that to happen, those who've seen it and loved it need to spread the word outside of the Broadway community. Tell your friends, family, classmates, teachers, co-workers. Let them know about the student rush tickets and on-stage seating. Force them to listen to the soundtrack. In turn, I really hope the producers do their part in heavily promoting the show. It has a chance. We all just have to do our share.

Spring Awakening earnings increased by 20.6%. I hope this trend continues.

Oh Munk

Always so negative and pseduo-intellectual...it's just adorable. Now hurry back to ticket services and sign your internet usage policy...

I for one loved SPRING AWAKENING, and think it one of the most ambitious musicals in the last 10 years. But, to each his own...I'm not faulting you one bit for naming yourself after a CAT.

I am always amused that people find it inappropriate to gush and voice extreme positive emotion at a THEATER BOARD. If you cannot share your enthusiasm here, what is this site about?

This is a show about and for teenagers. The idea that you should be 18 to see it is ludicrous. But then, this is a ludicrous society with bizarre standards. Yes, play violent video games, but keep your kids away from a serious piece of art because, gasp, it talks about sexuality.

"Spring Awakening earnings increased by 20.6%. I hope this trend continues."


And they are still losing money each week. Bad sign.

Last week they grossed $303,000.

They don't break even for less than $350K.

Auggie--- the sexuality isn't the only part that may be too much for say a 13 year old. It deals with a lot of different issues that I don't know a 13 year old should be seeing. I'm not sure they would even understand some of it.

[broadwayguy2]

Posted: 12/19/06 at 6:05pm

the show is ABOUT 13-14 year old.. they'd understand it. What? They shouldn't see something about hitting puberty?

I could DEF. I this when I was thirtteen because I am very mature for my age.

"I'm not sure they would even understand some of it."'

Are you kidding? I would have understood all of this when I was even twelve. I'm sure there are PLENTY more out there who could as well.

It really depends on the maturity of the person and not so the age. he or she may be already 15 yet not be mature enough to see or handle Spring Awakening properly. Then again, when I have kids, I'd rather have him/her discover about all these stuff through Spring Awakening than American Pie.

The age thing is just my opinion. I have always been very mature for my age. Honestly, I could have understood and maturely handled SA when I was 12.

I just want to be friends with the cast. Is that too much to ask?

I saw it again last Wednesday. Once again, it blew me away. And I'm happy to say they sold-out for the first time and they had to sell Standing Room only seats, according to John Gallagher. I can't wait to see it again when I get back from winter break.
