Jon and Lea's Curtain Call 5/18/08

[LeaGleeFan123]

I am crying like a baby at the moment.

[EExBraceyLover]

is so hard when i see lea cry :(

[mosseydoodle]

I am crying so much. When Lea Michele cries, I cry.

[TheMePlan]

Lea made me cry :')

[cmwebb67]

i cried then died :)

[eisnergurlzz58]

the second this video starts i bawl like a baby.

[srortiz87]

why does it stop at 1:01???

[cloiscool22309]

I cried. <3

[PeaceLoveLovato20]

he is gay and she is meant to be with dianna. end of story

[takemedownmemorylane]

Oh Lea stop making me cry!

[ashleajade192]

i love how jonathon is so calm and collected and lea is bawling her eyes out. ahha. i would have cried too. they are both soooo amaazing.

[catrin500]

I'm leggit crying right now, Am I the only one? ha!

[TalulahCarmichael2]

@catrin500 Definitely not the only one!

[TennesseClarks]

@Nicole971021

And they should use the original cast!

:D

[Nicole971021]

should make a movie out of it

[MissSamiexx]

<3 them sooooooo much!

[boy29girl]

hmmmm.........their parents were there.......so they were watching their son and daughter kissing, and toughing, and doing """the nasty"""!!!!!!! lololol

[94Princess29]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BOTH OF THEM AND THEY ARE EXTREMELY TALENTED jajajaja one last funny note in 2:22 see lea michele's hand wanting to hold jon's and he is like nope

[hannahhamburger32]

That made me cry (: In a good way haha. I know the feeling she had right there. Every show you will ever be in is like a family to you. I cried harder than that when I finished my last highschool show, Willy Wonka.

The cast really does become a family and it's just the sadest thing in the world to leave or see them go.

I love Lea so much. (:

[EckoHardy101]

why is lea crying

[coralmeredith]

@EckoHardy101 cuz its their last curtain call! and shes really, really happy and a bit sad, its the end of an era

[melissaaa87]

watching lea cry makes me cry, oh my gosh. usually people don't make me cry but here i am weeping.

[HannahRebeccaM]

I can't even tell what emotion I'm feeling right now but just tears.

[123longlive]

aaaand... THIS is why they are best friends.

[paige3406]

so either i'm crying because i just watched the musical on here, or because Lea was crying. i don't know which!

[GeoStrum3]

Such a great show? Why isn't still running? The public knew better and stayed away in droves. There was a reason for it closing.

[crazymileyfan6]

@GeoStrum3 If it was so bad then it wouldn't have won the Tony for BEST musical. Please, keep your negative comments to yourself.

[liduck52]

.I know they frown on cameras in the theatre but something like this is priceless.

How could they object to the taping of this?

[Xxnicoroxxx]

they're such cute friends. I love how Jonathan kissed Lea's hand it was so sweet!

[sylvierluvsatl1]

I love how Lea is basically choking on every word but Jon is keeping his cool long enough for the both of them.

[natttTM007]

I love how you can tell how much they care about this show. The perfect Wendla and Melchior :)

[cheyennemcghee]

what does OBC mean?

[ilovechoir160]

@cheyennemcghee Original Broadway Cast

[mhernandezl]

omg thats makres me cry.. lea looks so aaaaaaaaaw so cute idkk i love sheeee

[EncouragingDDL]

Why did they leave?

[awesomeannikax]

Aww she is absolutely adorable!

[eisnergurlzz58]

I JUST SOBBED <3 :'(

[BreeesaGleek]

*standing ovation forever* SA will never be the same. also lea needs to go back to broadway.

[JennyTangoJBJPHS]

was this their last show?

[justbecasue1]

@JennyTangoJBJPHS May 18, 2008

[crazymileyfan6]

I sob every single time I watch this. I don't know why I put myself through this torture...oh wait, yes I do. It's because I love Lea & Jon with a passion :) best musical ever, hands down. so much emotion and raw talent was in this cast. I wish they'd do a revival with jon/lea/and gallagher :)

[LadyaLL96]

He kissed her hand... .not sobbing...... no never..

[cheylacy]

OBC=Original Broadway Cast

[ashpenny27]

how amazing is it that Lea was offered what was prob one of her dreams roles for Le Miz and then got Glee right after this? She is so amazingly talented!

[justbecasue1]

@ashpenny27 Lea was offered Les Miz in summer 2006 but choose to do Spring Awakening. She did a concert of Les Miz in Aug 2008 in LA. While in LA for this she audition for glee.

[ashpenny27]

how amazing is it that Lea was offered what was prob one of her dreams roles for Le Miz and then got Glee right after this? She is so amazingly talented!

[dotdin68]

I'm not crying.. honest.

[giniethesinger]

@dotdin68 I'm not crying either but I'm still pretty sad =*)

[gLeekSongs]

AWWW :*

[cammmel0t]

This makes me cry. I love them both so much!

[saintpattysday16]

I don't care if Jonathon is gay, Lea and him ARE soulmates. Whether it's romantic or not, they were meant to meet each other and be best friends.♥

[agenttheater5]

@saintpattysday16 well, every gay guy is in love with at least one woman. chiefly one he's worked with. like nureyuv and fonteyn

[perrable1]

why is she crying?

[Antje017]

@perrable1 Because it was their last show.

[shivvy1080]

@perrable1 Because after two years of being the lead in the show, this was their last time.

[SouthernSoul333]

omg, ive always wanted a gay best friend... not to be sexist or whatever that might be, but they are great friends, and Jon seems like such a geat person, and a great freind to Lea. I know he's gay, but i believe they are soulmates, and that they will always be together as best friends. LOVE

[Chunkymonkey18574]

I can't believe this was three years ago. One of the best nights of my life.

[beccaboomhouer]

@Chunkymonkey18574 you were there?! omg i am sooo jealous of you!!

[shahoney]

I also want to have a hot broadway singer gay best friend like Lea does!! lol.

[Xxnicoroxxx]

@shahoney omigod that's like my dream!

[Beatlelove18]

awh he kisses her on the head!-3

[SHANNONTITTEP]

she was so much more real here than she is on Glee.

[Rosieeee20]

awwwh, sadness :'( so cute though, love them both.

[dedirox]

that is literally one of the saddest things i have ever seen

[britneyfannn1996]

@dedirox i know right :(

[TheGMAT16]

so she went almost right from Broadway to glee

[vcav22]

i would bawl too

[LPaige14]

aw, lea!!!

[janeandalec]

I would cry and cry and cry

[EGlVM]

What assholes disliked this?

[HydrangeaRangea]

@EGlVM Maybe someone who disliked the fact that they left?

[garancevn]

do you have purple summer from that night?

[allaroundthemorning]

Aww... mummy love!

[itsjustjanis18]

aww he kissed her hand at 2:30 they are the most amazing best friends. :)

[123longlive]

yet another reason i'm jealous of lea... <3

[Kuraushi]

Awww, bb...

[SammieRaeTV]

@sdrhead nexus theyr the ones who get the most offers for other projects and once they get one thats amazing, they go for it!! That's why Michael esper and John Gallagher jr left American idiot...I cried :(

[xcallmekatherine]

I love how because he had to leave so did Lea, she was offered to carry on with a new lead but she said she couldn't do it without Jon (:

i love these two they're the perfect soulmates <3

[dilaneyyy]

This must be such an magical moment. I almost cried, Lea sounded so cute. :')

[b05620]

just the cutest thing ever :)

[designerproductions]

I ADORE HER! haha why is she crying?

[xXstaywithmeXx3]

@designerproductions uh...its her last show. couldnt you tell. its both of their curtain calls....

[designerproductions]

@xXstaywithmeXx3 oh i thought it was just another show haha sorry im stupid.

[BlackTwilight16]

this made me cry <3

[maryyyany]

Oh God, I was about to cry watching this. I miss them.

[CampbellScot]

for anyone to say that Lea Michele is not talented is garbage. She is one of the most deeply talented to young women to come off of Broadway in a very very long time. She's a "bitch" bc she's talented? B/c she's a professional and passionate and focused? Whatever haters. Lea is a gift. She is the example of what happens when music and the arts are honored in the lives of children. I adore her. Same for Jonathon Groff. He radiates joy and his talent is undeniable. LOVE them.

[ImaLittleStitious]

Lea is a natural born star... she may be a diva, but you can tell she's living her dream.

[sierraa34]

When Lea cries, it makes me cry. :'(

iloveherrr! ♥

[skittlesaremydrugs96]

aww bless her!! Shes too cute :)

[mchlrenteria]

Did They Originate These Charcters? Btw Jonathans Hair Looks Wierd Lol Just Thought I'd Throw That In There Lol

[toughcookie5454]

WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO LEAVE THIS SHOW?

[ASneg3PRODUCTIONS]

Awww, poor thing.

[stardusth2o]

Did she actually cry through the WHOLE show? Like during the play? Aww Lea. :")

[crazymileyfan6]

this made me cry even before I first saw spring awakening.

[SarahhV]

this makes me cry :(

[Jada7448]

How does she have sex with Jonathan EVERY NIGHT with her mom there?!

[WendIaBergman]

@Jada7448 Well they're not really having sex it's acting, when you act you get lost in it and you don't pay attention to the audience because they're "not there" and you are not yourself.

[Jada7448]

@WendIaBergman I'm quite aware of what it's like to lose yourself on stage, I myself am an actor. However, having sex is having sex. Lea and Jonathan are actors but they're also human and having sex in front of your mother whether on stage in character or off stage not in character is weird. I'm sure it didn't bother her at all but I'm just stating what I'm sure many people were thinking.

[WendIaBergman]

@Jada7448 Excuse me no need to be rude, I repeat they're not really having sex, it's simulated and it's A LOT different then actually doing it and maybe it's a little strange if they thought about it but they probably were to invested in it to be thinking "Hey my mom and dad are watching this, oh crap now I lost concentration!".

[Jada7448]

@WendIaBergman Well, I'm sorry if you felt I was being rude...but to be perfectly frank, my original comment wasn't meant to be taken this seriously. I'm not Lea, your not Lea so we have NO IDEA what was running through her mind. K thanks bye

[WendIaBergman]

@Jada7448 I'm sorry for the misunderstanding I was just saying what I would think would be that case, Lea's really open about her sexuality so I don't think it was an issue maybe I'm wrong Idk :/

[musically235]

i am such a baby

i am bawling!!!

i've watched like 3 videos of their leaving night like an idiot and now i'm so sad!

[saphuras1122]

:( I wish this had never been taken off

So sad

[sdrhead]

How come it's always the leads who are the first to leave the OBC?

[xlaurenp]

@sdrhead they were actually basically the last to leave the OBC :)

[sdrhead]

@xlaurenp Ah ok

[FallingRedRose]

@xlaurenp Well Anna, Phoebe, Skylar, Lili and a few other OBC's were still there. Lauren and JGJ had already left though.

[FallingRedRose]

@FallingRedRose Remy not Anna.

[ashpenny27]

@xlaurenp whats the OBC?

[XXmrsXXshadowsXX]

@xlaurenp No because all the replacements were the chair of rocks in the OBC...so once they left the new cast came in.

[niewy11892]

This video never gets old to me. I always watch it and it makes me love Spring Awakening (and Lea and Jon) more and more every time :)

[EchoSinger]

Why do I ALWAYS start crying when I watch this video?? D:

[hayleyandserenajonas]

wouldnt that be awkward...? doing the sex scene EVERY NIGHT. if that wasn't enough....doing it everynight IN FRONT OF YOU MOM...

[isabellacecilia77]

Just wondering, Who played Moritz that night?

[WorldsBiggestGleek2]

This makes me wanna cry! Lea and Johnathan are amazing! :)

[defygravitybewicked]

2:16 JENNA USHKOWITZ In the cast line, all the way to the right next to a guy, shes crying <3

[defygravitybewicked]

@defygravitybewicked actually like 2:13

[mayaellaful]

aww i was there.

i'm one of those screams.

<3

[defygravitybewicked]

awwww :( just shows how dedicated she is :)

[CrystalAngelish]

i was there!! it was amazing!

[hmc1115]

if i was lea i would be bawling my eyes out too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she worked on this musical for 7 YEARS(or so) before it even made broadway!

[1996HL]

i wish icould have seen them in spring awakening live on broadway!i love the show so much even though ive only seen it on the internet ilive in canada and ive never been to new york or anywhere in the states so there would have been no chance of me seeing it live when it was still on and when it was them as the leading roles ididnt really like it with the new cast ididnt feel like it had the same emotional impact or vibe on the audience or viewer but istill love the show SPRING AWAKENING FOREVER

[csmit2210]

Awe he kisses her hand as they're walking out :)

[dantapisdance]

I just can't watch people crying without bawling my eyes out, it's just so real.

YOU GO LEA!!!

[paulfrank167]

aww lea, she's so lovely :)

[taylorswift0569]

oh my god, they should totally be together - why oh why does jonathan have to be GAY? this is so sweet!!!

[meesa96]

they're the best best friends ever! they're like soulmates.♥

[cbworld2008]

@meesa96 ya they would make the cutest couple except hes gay :'(

[mchammar416]

@meesa96 too bad he's gay :(

[leobrat12]

Jonathan looks like a baby! Lea looks the same.

[springmusicalrentfan]

does anybody know why lea isn't wearing the blue dress??

[xojoannaax3]

@springmusicalrentfan she changes into the one she's wearing in the video for the song of purple summer

[springmusicalrentfan]

@xojoannaax3 oh thanks, but did she do it for that show exclusively or was it part of the show regularly?? i'm sorry jaja it's just that i've only seen the show once and she was in the blue dress the entire time so..

[xojoannaax3]

@springmusicalrentfan i think she did it for every show... but i've only seen it once so i can't be sure. haha

[xlaurenp]

@springmusicalrentfan in every show, she starts with the dress she is wearing at the end. she puts on the little white dress (representing innocence) at the first song- Mama Who Bore Me, and the dress is a piece of conversation right after the first song. She changes into the blue dress at the next scene when her mother tells her to put on something more decent. Then when she (SPOILER?!) dies, she wears the original white dress in Those You've Known. So yes, every show she has two dresses.

[springmusicalrentfan]

@xlaurenp ooh thanks soo much for clearing that up it's just that in the show that i saw she wore the white one at the beginning and then the blue one the rest of the show, until she's at the doctor then she's wearing a different white dress, which she wears in "those you've known" as well, and then for "the song of purple summer" she changed into the blue one again, so that's what confused me

thanks :) :)

[springmusicalrentfan]

@xlaurenp hey umm now that we're in the subject can you clear up something else for me?? haha, during touch me, when the guys show up and they're all reading something, are they supposed to be reading melchior's essay for moritz?? it's just something i've always wondered about, thanks :)

[xlaurenp]

@springmusicalrentfan yupp. in Touch Me the boys are all reading Melchior's essay, like, the song is about learning about your body and stuff. Which leads into the rest of the play.. and the act.. and the end...

[springmusicalrentfan]

@xlaurenp haha ok thanks so much for clearing everything up for me

thakns :)

[xIGoByBubblex]

AW bless her, Lea's so adorable :) Two very talented people on this video- love em both!!

[PinkPufflePie]

Jon and Lea are so cute together...the way he holds her and kisses her head. awww!

thanks for uploading this vid...it's good and real nice to see :)

[ashley15416]

I'm pretty sure I cried watching this. Wow. I love Lea.

[leytonfromBA]

OMG thank you for post it i love lea and jon they are so great together

[my00z]

These two inspire me.

[ayutenshi2]

Aww... so sad! They're so sweet together... I just love looking at them. They have so much chemistry just standing next to each other! :)

[PinkPufflePie]

@ayutenshi2

they are so sweet together!

just look at the way he looks at her when she is speaking on the end..he doesn't take his eyes off her!

is he wasn't gay, they would totally be a couple..and make an awesome couple!!

[junkheadinfection]

i really like lea. but i couldn't help but laugh. D:

and jonathan groff is such a sweetheart. :D i want him to be my best friend. :P

[AnsonReign]

Pretty awesome. They're just children themselves here.

[ifindthemstrange]

ok, i think this is the cutest thing i've ever seen in my life. thanks for putting it up! amazing recording x

[ImFancyPants]

this just brought me to tears!

therye soo amazing i wish i could have seen them.

<3

[farahzawawi93]

what is spring awakening about.. coz i never see it..

[xojoannaax3]

@farahzawawi93 the very, very, extremely brief and spoiler-free summary is that it's teenagers coming of age in nineteenth century germany and discovering things, such as sexuality and the realities of the adult world, for themselves when the adults in their lives won't tell them anything or help them through it.

[dannylove24]

i just want to hug her.....and him, gorgeous!

[cole61992]

aww how cute <3 people who call her a bitch have definitly not seen this video...woo lea :D

[HOTretronerd]

@cole61992 she's not a bitch...she just knows what she wants

[mchammar416]

@cole61992 well i call her a bitch because of rachel on glee... that THERES a bitch but i love lea

[14istheluckynumber]

@mchammar416 rachel isn't a bitch. quinn is a bitch, santana is a bitch, sue is a bitch but rachel berry certainly is not. she is just slightly self-obsessed, selfish, determined and ambitious. and for a girl to be so is perceived by many to be 'bitchy'. it's nauseating.

[mchammar416]

@14istheluckynumber i just really don't like her character. now that i think about it, tina brittany and mercedes are the only girls who aren't bitches (in my opinion) now i just watch the show because of all the kurt plot lines (and for darren criss)

[taylor96x3]

your so lucky you got to see lea and jonathan perform.!

[wgmhottie11551]

aww leas soo adorablee

[10Romix]

they`re a really nice couple.

lea broke my heart.

i love her!

[maryalthene]

touching touching.. :,)

[mysticalight8222]

This made me cry

[lilacwinteraire]

aww Lea is adorable :)

[LisaAndLottie]

this made me cry :'(

[ohhdesi]

ahhhhhh i'm crying!

[LawsIam]

@miniwestall "Some of you who slept outside last night" :)

[miniwestall]

what does lea say at 0:53 and everyone cheers?

[itsalovelyshame]

@miniwestall " some of you who slept outside last night"

[lilashykinz]

Aww lea...i wanna hug her

[arumcphan]

[ImGreenForGood]

aww this made me cry

[SamuBolado]

why did they leave? [2]
