Not an SA fan AT ALL, but I think it's cool to see current Broadway shows in other languages.

Pretty sure we all know that.

Interesting. A bunch of them look old to me.

Does anyone know the official information behind this production? Funded by whom? Producers? What theatre and performance run-dates? How was this helmed, because it doesn't look entirely similar creatively (like a tour would)

Did they end up using people in their late 20s because child labor laws are so much stricter there that they didn't even bother looking at anyone in the 16-to-22 range? Nice voices, but yeah, the age range is kind of disorienting.

This is so odd... the whole style of singing sounds so much lower, slower, and.. altogether less Spring-Awakeningy. I have to ask-- curse words. How do they translate? Are they actually swearing in Swedish, or are they saying something else altogether? Because I know in German, they don't have really strong swear words so much.
