Part 2 of 9

[YoYoYo826]

hey there jen damiano! didn't expect to see her in this cast. great cast, all together.

[mcflyrocks26]

i dont get the thing with the mikes.....:P

[coryglee2]

@mcflyrocks26 They're suppose to give a rock concert vibe.... for people who aren't fans of the musical, breaking out into song. I love all musicals, but I do like the concert feel, it's different.

[LeksiTalksALot]

is there an audience on the stage?

[FreiUndSchwerelos3]

@LeksiTalksALot I think so, I believe that my friend said that she sat on stage when she saw it.

[thewiz4]

@LeksiTalksALot yep!!!!

[tulipstokissyouwith]

@LeksiTalksALot there is.

[dominicanmami02]

The set for this show is the only thing that is weird for me, very different choices were made by the technical director

[Mr88Piplup]

hahhahahhahahahhahahahhaha cant stop laughing XD

[defygravity1998]

I love how they manage the set changes! So creative and unique :-)

[MissEmilysCamera]

is it just me or did anyone not understand a word of any of that!?!

[thewiz4]

is that blake bashoff?

[Moonmagick1]

What is the song at the beginning??

[Broszko15]

@Moonmagick1 The Bitch Is Living



[demigodcabin6]

Can someone tell me what is said from 3:35 - 3:50?

[lalitalisa17]

This is the version with Lea Michelle? yes? I'd be grateful if anyone could tell me :)

[WendIaBergman]

@lalitalisa17 Yes it is.

[iiFreyja]

1:27.........NEVIL LONGBOTTOM?!

[deenise9]

why there is people sitting on the sides of the stage? Is that an ordinary thing? I'm from South America and I'd like to know. Are they part of the audience?

[littlecoconutinc]

Why do they have to use hand held microphones during the show? It's kind of strange...

[rootbeerroxs11]

@littlecoconutinc its the style of the show, its suppose to be like a concert feel

[pinkypieandfrills98]

By far the best cast of SA EVER!

[emilyedie22]

when jonny b wright sings **shivers**

[4everRentlover]

this is my favorite version of SA on youtube except JGJ isnt in it

[Kaitlyn102798]

WHERE IS JOHNNY CAKES???

[emilyedie22]

aww i miss JGJ </3

[ExperimentHarrison]

was gonna perform bich of living in a show, but someone complained so it was cancelled... was gutted

[randomstranger02]

where is John Gallaher Jr.?????????

[kdicristo]

@randomstranger02 He wasnt with the show very long, he was only there through the first run and then left when he got a role in american idiot. I wish he would have stayed longer!

[TheCearsey]

It's a BITCH OF LIVIN' the truth of all teens

[genesis2244]

What does Hanschen say to Ernst after the bitch of living?

[NightmaresDaydream]

@genesis2244

He says something about that he will come with Ernst so that they can study together, if i got it right.

[Zaninth11]

Who plays Moritz in this recording? Because they're interviewing a very different actor in all the interviews =S

[MissRaichyl]

@Zaninth11 John Gallagher jr

[jollyaxo]

@Zaninth11 The Moritz in this video is Gerard Canonico lol not John Gallagher jr.

Hope that helps! xD

[Zaninth11]

@jollyaxo thanks so much =)

[JenW96]

1:03 I just had a horrible thought... wouldn't it be terrible if Skylar actually fell!?

[lossie101]

I actually really like this Moritz, of course nothing can beat John Gallagher Jr, but I think Gerard's performance is incredible!

[Leaf30n]

@lossie101 yes i agree with you! the only preformance of John's ive seen was on youtube and he was great cas hes JGJ obvs but i saw gerard as moritz when i saw SA and i fell in love with him. he made me fall so in love with the character and brought me to tears when he died i felt a part of me fall apart. he made me emotionally connect to Moritz. hes truly great

[idkwhyimadeaccounts]

b.tch of the living= my most favorite sa song EVER! Omg i was singing the first verse around the house for hours then my little sis asked me what the title was and i was like 'uh... Spring awakening' but whatever she bought it

[musicmixr16allison]

coincident: Your name is Wendla Bergman and the Lea Michelle is Wenda in SA :)

[TheMadyg911]

It was probably really awkward for the audience on stage during the sex part . . .

[silentslapintheface]

Jon is so hooot

[Broadways2]

i love spring awakening !!! is the best musical ever !!!



[Jfad18]

OHHH MATT DOYLE!!!! I love him!

[Geekette621]

oh my god. i just saw lea michele, johnathan (don't kill me cuz i probably can't spell his name) groff, and JENNIFER FREAKING DAMIANO, all on one stage.

i think i just died.

[WeirdAndProudAboutIt]

My first reaction to "The Bitch of Living" was "OH! That's why their jackets are so puffy!" ... is that sad?

[MissSamiexx]

i love that they just start jumping in "my junk" :D

[legotheaterkid]

In what universe would anyone wear Georgs hair style?

[ChristianFish1]

@legotheaterkid i think i would if i was him :) I really love all the hairstyles in this- i saw the london production with one of the swings was Georg and had it sorta sweeping

[garylibra]

I thought I'd seen every SA posting on YouTube but somehow I missed these. Never saw Matt Doyle as Otto at the same time Gerard was Moritz. Loved it! The talent was so stellar in the ensemble that no matter who was on for who, it was perfection. Thank you WendlaBergman for your diligence! Much appreciated. :)

[JustRyan76]

Was it really necessary to put "WendlaBergman" on the screen throughout the entire show?

[WendIaBergman]

@JustRyan76 Yes it was,you're welcome. :)

[paige3406]

@JustRyan76 @WendlaBergman yep I agree. It could have been just as easily noted in the corner. small.

[WendIaBergman]

@paige3406 I tried that but my program would not let me.

[verriefunnie]

@WendIaBergman I'm just grateful this was posted, name and all. THANK YOU!

[WendIaBergman]

@verriefunnie You are very welcome :)

[Thedogbond]

@WendIaBergman THANKYOUUUUUU :D:D:D:D HYPERRRR ITS WAS SHOWN IN HK LIKE 3 DAYS AGO BUT I DIDNT GET TO GO :((((

[BethanyHutchison]

@WendIaBergman

[NightmaresDaydream]

@verriefunnie

Full agreement. I can ignore the writing and watch the musical. That is all that matters. 

[coryizamayzing]

@JustRyan76 Be thankful you can watch it. Smh, that was kind of rude and ungratdeful. Thank you @WendlaBergman

[TheKeekee7]

@JustRyan76 Be grateful man.

[SpazzyMcGee1000]

@JustRyan76 So no one can steal it, I assume.

[happykat241]

i love how it is like old timey and they pull out mics at every song :)

[boyslikegirlsthunder]

Jennifer Damiano!!!!!

[sokkie1111]

You know before it gets to all the tragedy parts this musical is fucking Hilarious!!!

[Claheymusic]

Does anyone know if there are any plans for Spring Awakening to go back on broadway??

[rentluvr2078]

I love Moritz in the dance breaks :)

[narniafreak92]

are those audience members sitting on the stage? look at 12:27

[stagedoorpianoman]

@narniafreak92 Yes. You could pay to sit in the bleachers onstage. There were even some cast members in street clothes there that stand up during the show and sing.

[jxander55]

this isnt John Gallagher Jr. in the role of Moritz, is it?

[sokkie1111]

@jxander55 no.It's his understudy

[jxander55]

@BellaRosa289 "labia majora" mispronounced.

[missblondiee22]

why do they hold microphones? dont they usually have small ones near their faces?

[musclvr08]

haha at 13:18 you can see Johanthan Groff crack up. :-) it looks like he's trying to keep himself together there

[cloiscool22309]

Who plays Moritz in this? It's not JGJ, not Blake Bashoff, and it doesn't look like Gerard... Who is it? :)

[ElphiexJasperxEmmett]

@cloiscool22309 It's Gerard :)

[FeelingJoyful]

Amazing show. So relatable. Awesome music. Fantastic energy. Cool set design.

Just one thing bothers me.

What's with the hair?

It distracts me..

[15iluvmusic15]

I love Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff!! :D

[stagehouse19]

what does hanschen say to ernst from 3:35 to 3:41?

[ComedyLover4Life15]

Did Lilli Cooper have an understudy there as well?

[Biiel2]

@ComedyLover4Life15 Yes! Jenn Damiano is playing Martha!

[KnowledgeLandVideos]

Gerard Canonico is Moritz in this. He's my favorite Moritz besides JGJ.

[MiSam11]

what is he doing on 8:32- 8 : 57?

[Xxnicoroxxx]

i have a hard time hearing what they're saying... i wish i saw it live it would've been amazing i'm sure.

[jenamitoitoi]

LOL. Hanschen is probably one of my favorite characters...Is it not obvious to them he's gay?

[LaurokaPlay]

The upper circle is my favorite part, unless I can ger on the first 3 rows in the scroll. Then is just hard to see :p It's also the best part to film because no one sees you cos there's like, no light.

[ScoutStew76]

Is this off-broadway?

[Jobrosforeverandever]

@ScoutStew76 No i think this is the broadway version

[ScoutStew76]

@Jobrosforeverandever Thank you! :)

[GPinzie]

remy ! ♥

[garylibra]

@GPinzie I love her too! I have never seen any time where someone subbed for her. I'm sure she was out sometime, but I don't know when. It's like she did every performance as Thea - from the workshop till the Broadway show closed. She is brilliant! :)

[ilovechoir160]

I love when they start to stomp! It makes me want to get up and stomp too.

[megzter23]

Woah! I forgot Jennifer Damiano was in this!!

[johnonbroadway1]

is that Jennifer Damiano?!?!?!?!?!?!

[horsePhorse]

i fucking love this!!!

[LibbyLuLu72]

love this damn musical!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ManBig4]

What time period is this suppose to be in?

[pinkdogsarehappy]

@ManBig4 1890s

[jenamitoitoi]

@ManBig4 Late 1800s

[enmitygoddess]

We're totally doing "My Junk" in my school! xD

Can't wait to see my classmate playing as Hanschen! XD

[The29thStreet]

are those audience members like on the side of the stage?

[garylibra]

@The29thStreet Yes they are. At Spring Awakening, there were stage seats on both sides (cheaper than out front actually), but a couple of those seats were occupied by cast members - 'chairs of rock' - who joined in on some of the numbers and would freak out some audience members who didn't know they were actually part of the show till they pulled out their mics and started singing & dancing. It was always funny to watch their reactions.

[smilingwithafrown]

make an athiest out of me jonathon groff ;D

[Jemrose13]

Matt Doyle!  (:

[emilyedie22]

Who plays moritz??? I can't tell..

[agenttheater5]

I don't think I've ever watched the my junk scene without squealing!!!

I am such a loser.

(Squealing but smiling that is)

[RhiannonSings397]

JENNIFER DAMIANO!!!!!

[carriewhite410]

@RhiannonSings397 i JUST DID THE SAME THING. I didn't even realize she was in this show!

[7supergleek]

@ThruAcceptingRules yeah she plays Martha a lot of people are out on this production.

[HannahRebeccaM]

Who sings at 1:47?

[eightyeightsugarrush]

@HannahRebeccaM That is Matt Doyle. He joined the cast in the summer of 2007 as a swing/Melchior understudy. He was later bumped up to Hanschen but continued to understudy Melchior.

[bluebirde67]

Books... they know everything right Melchoir?

[MadieeEBmusic]

hah, Lea Michele is taller than all those girls, thats a first.

[WendIaBergman]

@MadieeEBmusic Lol I think maybe it's the angle.

[FallingRedRose]

@WendIaBergman Remy and Phoebe are short though haha.

[kim123poprocks]

Amazing muscial. i already know most of the songs and i just saw the play for the first time yesterday.

[linah95XOXO]

@TheAndresfardila seen em all :) thanks

[linah95XOXO]

love this show, saw it a few weeks ago and havn't been able to get it out of my head ever since :) anybody know of any other musicals up on youtube?

[XXmrsXXshadowsXX]

GERARD <3333333333333333333

[ThruAcceptingRules]

Is Jennifer Damiano in this?

[sunshinelizz8]

ii personally have never likedd thee original anna.

ii knoww shee originated thee role and whutt nott, butt

shee's juss nott myy cup of tea.

[iHatecancer222]

I LOVE THIS.

Hnggggggg. JON GROFF.

[isabellafrances123]

I actually love you for uploading this! <3

[clecle333]

Around 12:01 can someone explain the joke? why does Moritz put his hand in his pocket? Thx :)

[asmoen]

@clecle333 It's just funny because he's trying to act all casual when he's really just super uncomfortable. "Very well, thank you, Frau Gabor." like "Oh! Fine! Totally fine, everything's totally great and fine. And good." It's like when people say "act natural" and they start acting way too nonchalant that it makes them look the opposite of natural.

[TheBluefairy93]

What is this?

[WendIaBergman]

@TheBluefairy93 Only the best musical ever made!

[TheBluefairy93]

@WendIaBergman I'm aware that it's a musical, but I meant what's the name of it.

[WendIaBergman]

@TheBluefairy93 Lol sorry, it's "Spring Awakening"

[achterkant16]

@WendIaBergman helll yeahh



[imarory]

Jennifer Damiano :)

[chowderheadify]

@WendlaBergman Wait, are you really Lea Michele or is this just the username you are using?

[WendIaBergman]

@chowderheadify Lol I wish, just my username ;)

[AllTheGleeYouNeed]

@WendIaBergman - Thats good enough for me..............Can i have your Autograph?? xxx

[PLUGINBABY1992]

Bless you for uploading this, I've seen the london performance but I always wanted to see the broadway version

[sourpatch5559]

jen damiano!!

[iHatecancer222]

Top to bottom. <3

[LadyaLL96]

I'm still for Gallager do you know where i can find his verison.?

[yalelov]

hahahaha just realized tht the dude in the back is motorboating tht chick lmfao!

[thishatandyou]

@mgmmambz1 If you think that's a bad word you're not gonna like the rest of the show. :P

[corinasaurusrex]

Everyone is saying where is john....Where is Otto! lol

[ell0mynameis]

i think jenn damiano went on for lilli as martha

[AllTheGleeYouNeed]

i know im gonna get so many "vote down"'s or watever there called but i have to say

i prefer John's understudie to him he is good but i love his understudie(no idea what his name is) he is so good at playin Mortiz

[reindonato]

"He's such a RADICAL!" LOL @ Thea! hahahaahah:))

[WendIaBergman]

@mgmmambz1 Lol well that's SA for ya!

[jerona]

too bad the sound is so bad, its almost impossible for me to understand without having the lyrics there.

[colliezoya]

Whahaha, I never laughed so hard watching a musical!

[jeszilestrange]

I love Moritz<3

[bananers101]

Matt Doyle is amazing.

[saphuras1122]

Geard's spasm at the end is hilarious.

[rachel869]

AAAAAAAH Doyle as Otto, Jenn as Martha, and Gerard as Moritz. Thank you for this recording!

[ICouldSingForever]

Omg Matt Doyle as Otto

This is great

[ICouldSingForever]

ROCK ON GERARD

[rapidreadr73]

The Moritz understudy in this video is Gerard Canonico, who's currently a part of the cast of American Idiot on Broadway. He's FIERCE.

Thanks for uploading this, I've been looking for Gerard!Moritz for forever!

[WendIaBergman]

@rapidreadr73 Ah thanks and you're very welcome.

[zacandashleys1fan]

@rapidreadr73 So the original Moritz and understudy Moritz are both in American Idiot? They should rename it 'The Moritz Stiefel show' lmao

[charlottekane123]

@rapidreadr73 omg you have no idea how grateful i am for this! thank you so much! i have always wanted to see jenn as martha

[wickedruddcook101]

@rapidreadr73 he is my favorite Moritz beside JGJ I Love Gerard!

[sheltereDaydream]

I don't care what anybody says, no Hanschen will ever be as pitch-perfect as Jonathan B. Wright.

[Glee4EVA1000]

Where's Lily Cooper

[WendIaBergman]

@Glee4EVA1000 Idk Lily and John had their understudies.

[ell0mynameis]

@WendIaBergman jenn damiano (from next to normal and spiderman) was lilli's understudy.

[gchimmel]

He's pretty good for an understudy. He's no John Gallager Jr, but still good.

[musclvr08]

@gchimmel yeah. I do like John Gallager Jr has Mortiz since he originated but Gerard is still pretty damn good.

[DamonsGirl323]

@gchimmel totally

[Austenacious]

I'm so excited I get to see this before Christmas!! Do you know if that's an understudy for Moritz? He look different than the Moritz at the Tony Awards.

[WendIaBergman]

@Austenacious Yes that's his understudy, I don't know his name though.
