Spring Awakening love — Page 42

God, you miss a lot of drama by not being a Spring Awakening fan!

So. I'm going to NYC next weekend but seeing as how I don't have tickets to the show I was just planning on stage dooring the Saturday matinee... what time does the show normally let out after a 2pm showtime?

Let's take a vote: how many think Lea's the next Elphaba? I think she might do it, even though I really hope she doesn't.

So no one cares about the new Ernst....?

Becoz, stop flailing your arms about and jumping up and down. We see you. We're just not paying any attention.

The Tony-winning Spring Awakening is readying to play to audiences across the globe.

Steven Sater, the Tony-winning book writer and lyricist for Spring Awakening, told Playbill.com that about 14 different territories worldwide are interested in producing the musical. The cities most likely to see productions open within a year include London, Japan and Germany.

Sater looks forward to revisiting Wedekind's original play, which was transformed for the musical. According to Sater, "The German production is an opportunity to go back to the original play — to go back and take Wedekind's language and have to create new German." The challenge for the authors will be to determine which words will remain in English for the various foreign language productions, as "English is such an international pop language," Sater says.
Spring Awakening Is Ready to Expand Worldwide

Lauren got a Broadway.com fresh face.
Probably for her StOmPz.

Enjoy- I will be there on the 10th and the 25th for Gideon's last performance...I am sure that will be very emotional.

Alexandra is 17 and if it wasn't already posted, she went on last night for Thea.

A friend of Johnny Gallagher here and I wish Blake all the best as he enters the SA family. All the friends & fans of Gideon have also sent him good wishes. I can't wait to see him perform.

I was replying to Triplethreat101---I should have indicated that, sorry.....

I'm not being rude. I was just asking silversurfer2 why he feels the need to announce that he's a personal friend of Johnny's in many of his posts.

I agree with antiandrewx. silversurfer2, you clearly have a lot of enthusiasm for the show, which is great. We all do. But when you repeatedly announce (or when anyone on this message board repeatedly announces) that you're "friends" with one of the cast members, it gets tedious, and the only reasoning left for people who have to hear it time and again for why you keep doing it is that you feel as though it elevates you to some higher level than everyone else, when in fact, all it does is repeatedly annoy anyone who is trying to engage in discussion about the show.

If you want some examples from the past on this board of posters going on and on about their Broadway actor "friends" and other posters repeatedly getting annoyed, do a search for the poster "iluvtheatertrash" and "Laura Benanti."
