I've studied theatre for 20 years, and I'm a theatre critic in Los Angeles for an independent newsmagazine. I've read Frank Wedekind's Frühlings Erwachen (1891). I was recently in NYC and saw Spring Awakening. I was completely underwhelmed.
I can only describe it as "Kafkaesque RENT." I found the staging interesting and the performers competent, but the rock adaptation of Wedekind's play was just unimpressive. It's disappointing, because I love the play in German,
theres some hott guys in this show. who is that guy with the dark hair that says, "god, my whole life's like some test"? and the blond who says, "looks so nasty in those khakis"? the first guy to sing is sexy, too!
I have been studying musical theatre for years now. When I saw this clip it was the most exciting thing I had seen since RENT. It's original, it's hard, it's not fluffly. I'm so sick of crowd-pleasers like Wicked and Xanadu. Even though these kids have a lot of growing to do vocally, they are powerful performers who have brought meaningful literature back to Broadway. Bravo.
First off, I love Johnny Gallagher, Jonathan Groff, and Jonathan Wright way too much... And, for everyone who hasn't seen this music yet go now! I went with my high school class and it was amazing. This isn't the best song in the musical, but it certainly gets your attention.
Because it is a topic which is considered somewhat of a taboo in our culture, yet is part of our lives. I think it is great they don't shy away from the topic.
Yeah, if they really want to promote the show well, they should show the sex scene. Althought, from my angle that was more white, naked man ass then I EVER wanted to see. *shiver*
Why do they promote the show with this song? I've heard the whole soundtrack and this is surely not the best! What about mama who bore me (reprise) or something instead? Sad... And the video is boaring...
its certainly not for everyone, but its not preverted ;) its REAL. There's nothing in the show that isn't going on in our society today, AND in the society in which the show takes place
no he doesnt RAPE her like uh...rape but he sorta forces it. i agree tho cuz in the videos ive seen, wendla isnt really fighting him...hey does anyone know when this show came out? i know it was recently but when?
oh my goodness I am so in love with Jonathan Groff (Melchior). I swear, and like, the video doesn't even do him justice. He is SO GORGEOUS. And insanely talented. And sooooo sweet at the stagedoor its not even funny!!
I could debate that ;) haha, he definitely gets a little...carried away, but I do think that wendla still wants to do it, its just she probably wouldn't have without his urging her to. But like, I think she does love him, she's just scared because she knows what they're doing is wrong
gosh... i miss john gallagher jr. soooo much :(
