Spring Awakenings

...ouch

Hm, I haven't seen Spring Awakenings, but I did see Spring Awakening and it was incredible.

Care to give us any reasons as to why it was so "AWFUL,AWFUL,AWFUL" and "really, really, bad?"

Nothing wrong with not liking the show, that's your opinion. But if you're going to trash it that much, at least support said opinion...

I was about to say the same thing DRSislove.

Missy2--would you mind being a tad more mature and elaborating on what exactly you found problematic. It is pretty easy to blame the book, but I would respect your opinions just a *tad* more if they were phrased in ways that made them seem as though YOU yourself respected them and wanted them to be heard and appreciated. Just my 2¢

I, for one, saw it Off-Broadway, adored it, but I am always eager to hear other opinions on it as it is controversial. heck, when I saw it the people sitting next to me militantly stormed out during intermission, but that had seemed to have more to do with the fact that people were somewhat yelling at them because rhey were loudly eating and crinkling wrappers, or so I thought.

It wasn't one of the greatest things I've ever seen. It wasn't one of the worst things I've ever seen. I think the mixture of ancient dialogue and modern lyrics was what turned me off. It was a very bland show. I know the bulk of the crowd is going to disagree with me, but that whole "teen angst" thing has been done.

Amneris- I was thinking the same thing. Most every review I've read has stated how well-received the show seemed to be.

Geez, people on this site really don't like it when one is not enthusiastic about a particular show.
It was contrived and forced. My sister walked out at the intermission but my friend and I figured we'd give it a shot.
The performances were good but the story and how it was told was ridiculous.

That is what we thought.
And bad luck charm or whatever. There was no standing ovation except for somebody who was a relative of someone in the cast and the rest of the audience departed quickly. Sorry, that's the way it was.
Anyway, again, everyone can have an opinion....

and by the way, i wouldn't light candles for anybody.

hmmmm I dont think I knwo a show calld Spring Awakenings...

I am in LOVE with Spring Awakening. The actors are incredible, the show is incredible, the music is breathtaking and the set is pretty damn cool.

Oh and who is this Idina Menzel person anyway? I thought her name was Eyedin Menzelopolous

you probably think a spring awakening is rolling out of bed on april fools day and smelling flowers.

I just want to say that when I clicked on this post title I was really hoping it was going to be people sharing stories about their own puberties and various sexual discoveries, you know, their "spring awakenings". Because that would have cracked me up.

On a side note, I saw the musical "Spring Awakening" tonight and thought it was amazing. December 12th is not soon enough for a cd. An it was so wonderful to see Pheobe Strole on stage again, who I went to college with. Score another point for NYU.
