Spring Awakening-Touch Me (Broadway in Bryant Park 2007)

[thegrayskys]

I love this because they aren't there characters in this. They are themselves. It's wierdly beautiful.

[NeonSkittlesX]

brian charles johnson.

Y U SO TALENTED?

[LGM429]

The sound guy wasn't great on this; you can't hear most of Jon's solo @ the beginning, and the first time everyone chimes in on their harmonies, it's not modulated properly. I love how Lea turns & beams at Brian when he gets all the cheers during his solo - but who is the girl standing next to him on the other side? I know the whole OBC and I don't recognize her...

[ph4nt0mc4t]

@LGM429 Alexandra Socha, pretty sure she was Krysta's replacement.

[msonlykote]

Original Cast = Best Cast EVER!

[Jharryia]

AWESOME... minus the random bad note in the beginning lol

[sheltereDaydream]

Brian Charles Johnson is the second best, after Bobby Maylor.

[PaRaMoRe106]

God, look how into it they are! They were definately the best. The London cast was good, but no one can beat the original. They're phenomenal.

[musically235]

so, i LOVE jonathan groff, so much.

but Skylar Astin just made my day.

[EchoSinger]

I love Gideon!**

[cheyenne5912]

Has anyone ever noticed how in sync they all are with each other even when they just take a breath in between each line. it's kinda....beautiful :)

[Sara4Fergie]

@cheyenne5912 Yeah, totally. They all really meshed well together. This really proves how talented they all are. For this group to have originated their roles puts them in sort of an SA special family. That would be so much fun to come to work everyday with people you love and get along with and just create this thing together that grows into something huge that people love.

[amrarose]

wow! Beautiful!

[georgey012]

3 years later, it's still glorious..

[hmc1115]

i love seeing the whole cast jumping/bobbing up and down especially at the end :)

[TheArtisticNuisance]

What is up with about 0:55? It's so pitchy. It gets sooo much better, and is up to their normal amazingness after that tho.

I love this song =)

[cheerleadingislyfe21]

perfectionnn every timee. they sing it.

[heartsnsmileys687]

i would definatly, without doubt or hesitation, touch you, gideon.

[NiceView23]

the original cast is the best... why can't i see Johnny B???

[nicki446]

a ridiculously talented cast...

[cheyenne5912]

I love when the girl standing next to Gideon (Glick) says "that was beautiful" after he sings his part after John Gallagher jr.

[junkheadinfection]

@cheyenne5912 her name is lauren pritchard, just in case you didn't know. :D

[cheyenne5912]

@junkheadinfection oh I did but thank you i just wanted ppl 2 kno who i was talking about lol :D

[junkheadinfection]

@cheyenne5912 ahhh. okay. i'm sorry. :P :P

i just really love lauren. :D

[MissKenzieLoVe]

I seriously CANNOT stop watching this performance. It's so beaitiful and haunting. My favorite song from my favorite musical

[austinanddomo]

im going to see john gallager jr in american idiot and im so excited to see it

it wont be as good as SA but yeaaa

ahaha

[scrubsrox77]

@austinanddomo  :O John Gallager Jr's in American Idiot??!! I need to see it. I can't believe I didn't know he was in it, haha.

[laylaonherknees]

so beautiful!!

2:51 is my fave!!

[WKLvr]

There's something about the guy who sings at 1:51 his voice is GAH! I love it. I don't remember his name all too well. He's my fav in this song.

[Jess046]

ah that's Gideon Glick. He has such an angelic voice. I love how into it he, Jon and Johnny are.

[krispykritterlover]

Brian's solo gives me absolute chills. Like, literally. Then again, so does Skylar's. They are my next 2 favorite people ever. (After Lea, John, and Jonathan!)

[allieskater818]

lovely. absolutely breath-taking

[gumboggie1127]

i would love to slow dance to this song with a bf.

sighhh....

[periwinklemooose]

they are the coolest people ever.

[whoahippo]

AW brian is a cutie.

[liliekinz]

i just found out hat brian charles johnson's father was my sisters english teacher. i was like OMG WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME?

love spring awakening <3

[Marold101]

Oh my, what's wrong with Lauren's voice ?

Annd, Gideon's sunglasses are fierce.

[rachel869]

She always sucks

[kathleenxxo]

they are soooo fierce xD

[Amanda241567]

i love how much they are all so into it! i love the musical!

[Amanda241567]

this musical*

[TiTiKoge]

where's jonathan b wright?! i can't find him!!!! T_T

[cokieblume]

I love how passionate they all are...Why doesnt JGJ get a microphone buddy?? lol x

[girr7893]

I'll be Gallagher's buddy.

i love how he sang 'touch me' and thrusted haha

[curethesane33]

Did theychang some of the words? i only ask because they're different from the CD, well the first verse and third i think. anyway, this is great! Sring Awakening is AMAZING!!!!!!!

[1musicalnote]

the sound guy sucks for bryant park. too long now. and its a live performance, and theres a reason these lovely performers are on broadway.

[rachel869]

holy does LP ever sound horrible.

[MeghanNoelleC]

She sounds great in Blue Wind though. I think its the sounds guy at Bryant Park that effed it up

[stnz6]

Oh it wasn't that bad. It's a morning sing-a-long [well maybe afternoon]. Not properly warmed up that's all. But those [surely not Lauren...nah can't be...] notesat 44 & 55 secs are awful. I still love it. The raw beauty of this music & the performers will last a lifetime.

[BARRUMUNDII]

2:26 the sharpest ive ever heard anyone sing. full semitone above what he wanted.

[adrummingman]

wow, didn't you listen to the stray notes around 0:44 and 0:55 ? I think he's a little off, but not as noticable as the others in the beginning

[llc88]

I just found out that Brian Charles Johnson is from Buffalo, NY! I just moved from there after living there for many years. I was wondering why he had the Buffalo Sabres shirt.

I have recently fallen in love with this musical and the play.

[elphiegreen]

JGJ is hot

[onedayallwillknow]

good god, I love Gideon Glick.

[slightlystarry]

there were a few off notes around :55 but other than that it was greatt!!

[Genevievexx3]

haha i love when john (gallager) is like jumping up and down hes so adorable!

[emera]

I KNOW. So cute!!

[RAWsnapshot]

gaaaaah, i miss the old cast.

the new cast is just bleh.

[stonybrookvocalists]

The new cast is amazing.

[musically235]

@RAWsnapshot no other cast can ever measure up to them.

they will always be the best.

[yourrrsmile]

isnt it weird seeing them all in normal clothes lol?

[issalovesyoux5]

omg yes! their talent didn't go anywhere though!

[allshallknow19]

listen to the applause for gideon! and skylar. wow!

[prboy0812]

love it.

[nihaoelise]

LOL. i LOVE gideon's sunglasses, they're so awesome :]

[peaceekaitlin]

agreed! i love himm!

[TheWindSighsx]

Aww<3333

I wish they turned up Skylar's mic for his BREATHTAKING solo.

[leannp]

who the fuck is ruining it with their own harmonies .. its my favorite song in the show.. well one of them, but someone's awful harmony is completely killing it for me

[rycliffmc]

they are human and make mistakes....

[equestrian951]

Probably Lauren she screwd up My Junk that day too.

[sharpieluvpeace14]

i love how they get so into it

its amazing and beautiful

OBC 4EVA

[D0llanganger]

i so agree.

:]

[shadowpsykie]

there is just something about this song that is so haunting.... it's not just sexually charged, which it totally is. It's more... getting lost in the feeling of the touch of another person. it's almost sad in that what they are talking about is the longing for connection..... am i wrong? reading too much into this?

[WackyWeasley]

I totally agree. I feel the same as the character's do. It's so haunting and it makes me cry if I'm in a vulnrable state of mind.

[HorHorBagel]

I love Gideon's green sunglasses...

[togocardibroke714]

I love how they've got them all paired by height. It makes total sense, but I just love it.

[ATUgirrl]

wow, now I get the pairings! I thought the pairings looked a little weird, but it's by height! Thank you for clearing that up!

[grannysmithapplesmt]

well they paired them by height so the microphones would be at proper height for everyone

[xjtiger08x]

I love after he finishes his little part Lauren whispers to him "that was beautiful" she seems like shed be fun to work with

[broadwaybells]

saw that i loved it

[rorygilmo5]

Gideon's voice is sooooo beautiful!

[MissDrama3495]

I lovelovelove Brian, but was it just me or did he seem really off at parts of this?

[thevanderman]

So is any of the old cast still with the show?

[ninathompson1983]

i miss the old cast so much! its just not the same anymore! they get so into the songs and u can tell they really enjoy singin them! they show so much emotion! its so powerful! i luv it! i wish the new cast wuz this passionate! but the old cast had been together 4 awhile! and the new cast r just gettin use 2 it! so ill giv em a break 4 now! lol!

[VintageRomance]

I love the inensity of the cast and how they can't keep themselves from dancing.

[lvssmthng]

I get chills every single time I hear this song. I love all of them but Brian takes the cake in this song<3

[VintageRomance]

Anyone notice how Lauren whispers 'Beautiful' after Gideon's part. So right.

[ATUgirrl]

youre totally right, that's so sweet

[thevanderman]

Lauren's got it right...that was beautiful!

[iceboxx12]

gideon is just the cutest thing ever :)

[hhh827]

I just discovered Spring Awakening recently, and I love it. Brian Charles Johnson just won mad props from me. When I first heard some of the music, I thought "my school needs to do this, even though the town would burn us at the stake" and that if we did, I should be his character (Otto? I've not seen it. :()... I see him wearing a Sabres shirt... and that cemented it. Hockey + musicals... wow. That's pretty awesome, I have to say.

[irenek518]

i love skylar astin.

he is so good in this song.

[jspinski92]

they are so cute they get so into it

[lamelori]

I love this song so much

[SoralovesKarixxx]

gideon glick is to cute for words ^___^

[Love889]

Johnny looks so alone:(

[lvssmthng]

hehe i think if he had people next to them he might hit them cause he always bounces and dances when he sings ^-^ i love him.

[fuzzyslippersx23]

In almost all videos of them performing this, they're always bobbing up and down when they sing this. It's so cute. I love it. Ah.

[aleerox]

I saw them saturday night

OMG!!!!! This show is TOTALLY in my top three favorite musicals! I love them to death, and I got to walk with the two Blakes to my car- even though we didnt talk that much it was still awesome- they're all sooooooo nice!

[VintageRomance]

I saw this on Broadway yesterday. AMAZING.

[charlieinfinite]

Oh good. I am hoping to get to New York this summer to see the show before the original cast is replaced... especially Jonahtan and Lea.

[abigailhenderson21]

groff and michele are leaving on may 18, jbw is leaving on april 20? i think...sometime around there anyway, and matt doyle is going to be the new hanschen

[rugged64]

i just saw this show a couple of weeks ago. lea and john were amazing. any idea who is replacing them? I have to see this show again!

[iloveryouuuu]

according to recent articles...

kyle riabko= melchior

alexandra socha (a current swing)= wendla

[charlieinfinite]

Wow. I know they're good, but this was an excellent performane. Who of the 2007 cast is still performing?

[MrsMcDreamy66466]

lea michele, jonathan groff, lilli cooper, remy zaken, phoebe strole, skylar astin, jonathan b wright, brian johnson, eryn murman, and alexandra socha and there might be a few more but that's all i can think of off the top of my head

[iwantcheetosyay]

gideon glick...ahhhhhhhhhhhhh his voice.

[pinkllamas12]

omg when skylar riffs in the actual show. i FELL off my chair. he is my love. i dont care if hes with lauren. he is my life.

[luhtahshuh]

i am now officially in love with skylar (:

<333

[emzie189]

did you hear that voice in the begining it was so weird

[thereitgirl]

their voices make me weep due to the beauty!!!!!!

im seriously obsessed with this musical!!!

[wendilin622]

brian's voice makes me weak in the knee... god i love this music.

[stickstr8up]

brian is good, but skylar totally does it for me.  he is so soulful...and he's hot!

[franklinchan00]

i love this video!!!! espcially johnny at the end... he's so cute!!!!!

[Persephonie22]

Me too. This song always gets to me. =)~

[muhreeuh24]

anyone see gideon slap lauren's butt at the end? hehe. i love the intensity of that group.  so effing brilliant.

[RENTAwakening]

I watched just for gideon slapping her butt! I like sat there staring at the screen. haha this song makes me start trembling its so powerful.

[BananePuddin]

For a girl who lives in Queens and goes to school in Buffalo, O just gotta say Way to Go Sabres! Whoot to Brian for having B-lo pride!

[PawnRox]

omg giddy makes my day....everyday

[worldromance]

1:04..heaven.

[mommygray]

I love Gideon and miss him!!! He's just like a little angel.

[OMGitsGordy]

Totally sings like an angel. OMG I love it!!

[worldromance]

I can watch this for hours and hours and never get tired of it. It is so beautiful..

I especially love Groff's voice in this video. Just perfect! LOVE IT!! (And his great looks) :D

[BroadwayBaby714]

Amen sista'!!

[SAlove95]

skylars voice on 3:07 is amazing!!!!

[tululashortshorts]

i love how into it they all get!

[asblue91]

2:53

Gave me chills.

[psshOMG]

voices of angels =]

[fredsslacks722]

i. love. gideon. glick.

oh so much.

[quinndynasty101]

aww Brian is soo cute!

[zidsrik]

Fantastic. They had a bit of a rough start harmonizing, though.

Still, it was worth it. Skylar totally gave me goosebumps.

[ThineBluEyes]

Gideon Glick my anti-drug!!!!!

[JGKski360]

where is john wright?

[xoangel2789xo]

noticed the bit with the harmonies...it happens i guess.

[Wardhelper]

It's not the harmonies that are off...the mics aren't leveled.

[Persephonie22]

So that was it. =)~

[dennisinterrupted]

wow i cant believe how sh!tty that was. harmonies were totally out of tune far too much of the time

[mione134]

Haha lauren"that was beautiful"

haha i love them!

[Ayelle03]

I so love Gideon! I love his voice.

[liightmycandle93]

I think this is amazing<3

I love how after Gideon sings Lauren says "That was beautiful" (I believe thats what she says)

And Skylar was incredible at the end, as always : )

[RUNTHERECOMING]

yea, but its loud so they prolly couldnt hear each other

[nerdfarm06]

ahhhhhh i love gideon glick!

too bad he's gone now :'' (

[hocuspocus46]

I love him too! Hah, he slaps Lauren's ass at the end of the applause :P!

[Cheergal92]

wow, amazing

[gorramdoll]

the mess-ups are kind of annoying. and they don't even seem to notice!

[dramanrc]

mess-ups? what?

[gorramdoll]

there are one or two parts where the harmonies are really out of tune. People mentioned exactly where they are in earlier comments.

I mean, I'm sure I couldn't do it that well, but it's not my job.

[bornforthestage1]

There are a couple of moments where they all like thrust or something at the same time. They are such a good ensemble...there is no domination in this song!

I could watch Gideon all day long...

[okbye17]

why are they so out of tune wtf. its very disillusioning.

[princessalkane]

who's the guy between lauren and john? He starts singing the chorus first? I LOVE him.

[LoraJae]

That's Gideon Glick. He left the show last week. :(

[boyskissboys]

are you kidding me? go away.

[kNARR0079]

Gideon, Johnny Gal, and Lauren make my heart sing. They're so into it and I LOVE that!! Oh man..this cast is so unbelieveably talented :)

[tinydancer317]

Who is standing between Jenn and Remy?

[abbie8908]

thats robi hager

[tinydancer317]

thanks

I figured it was him or Matt Doyle but I haven't exactly seen many pictures of either except their headshots (which are more than likely not very recent but rather from the beginning of the show's run)

[ttcarter]

i love when they are just jamming at the end.

[Tarzanxox]

and johnny b.

[Tarzanxox]

I don't think pheobe was there.

[Eowyn586]

Amazing besides that one note

[dottore06]

Skylar makes life

[SEANPATRICKG]

gideon rocks it outt..

[bwaylover818]

omg Jonathan and Johnny gallagher are too cute... Johnny looks hellof angsty through the entire piece =) lol

[coolgirl21]

awesome! wish the west coast has something like this. Do you happen to also have videos from the Fantasticks segment?

[emily51805]

i want to marry every single one of them.

[Persephonie22]

Whatta wonderful performance. I love them. Thank you for posting this video Mortega31686! =)~

[urallmine]

gideon's flawless.. sighh

[gustof777]

I love these kids I really do but that one note was embarassingly out of tune!!

[angelicscorpio91]

was it the one at around 0:43 or 0:54. oh, and who is the girl with brian there at the mic?

[untilwedisappearx]

alexandra socha

[gustof777]

yeah the one at 43 is weird but the one at :54 is not pretty. It might have been balance problems or I don't know what...but OUCH!

I still love them though!

[randwill]

Might have been somebody in the crowd near the camera.

[kNARR0079]

I'm pretty sure that's just balance issues with sharing the mics. And the fact that they're outside doesn't help either...I love them nonetheless!

[AHZ1192]

amazing quality. i love watching gideon, lauren & johnny, giedon & johnny especially. i love it when johnny basically jumps up nto the air when they sing touch me, before skylar's solo at the end. they all just get into it. gotta love this cast. thanks for posting :D

[shogofo]

awesome pro shot!

[viewofsaturday]

GOD i love gideon. and after his solo lauren says something to him.. aww they're so sweet. like "that was beautiful" or something.

aww spring awakening. DAYUMM BRIAN WORKIN IT OUTT
