The Dark I Know Well (OBC, Krysta as Anna, Phoebe as Ilse)

[ABrookeRubino]

My theatre group is performing SA, and the choreography for this song literally brought the cast to tears when we first saw it. This song is so haunting and powerful

[Claheymusic]

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

[HappyThoughtsToU]

Amazing work... but one question...Did her dad just hit her, or sexual abuse her as well? I never understood that part...

[TheEfDubbs]

@HappyThoughtsToU The song is about how being raped is a part of how she is abused- the point of the song is that this is a secret she can't tell her friends, She tells them she is beaten, and then she starts the song by saying "there is a part i can't tell..."

[darksideost]

@broadwaygirll i disagree, i see anger and digust at what her father does to her, if she breaks down it ruins the power of the song.

I love the acting and the voices, and how when the two girls are singing together it looks like the bigger girl is almost trying to protect the smaller girl when she puts her arm around her.

[twiggyjiggy]

They can sing like nobody's buisness...love this song!!!

[Gamecocklady87]

gah this song is so powerful. you can feel the fear, the anxiety, the pain. the girls did a great job.

[babydodgergirl]

this song is soo haunting if you know the double meaning of this song.

[TheHallBobby]

@babydodgergirl What do you mean by the double meaning? I feel like this song is pretty straightforward about rape and physical and emotional abuse.

[babydodgergirl]

@TheHallBobby well thats one meaning the other is about the devil coming to her. listen real closely and you'll understand.

Horrible costumes. And stage performance. A musical has to have a great performance. This is somewhat boring.

[Allshookup1]

oh shut up .. this "somewhat boring" show changed my life .. this is beautiful and ur just jealous .. dont judge something before u see it in person

[BroadwayFanatic2008]

@Kuerbiskoenigin Um... the costumes fit the period. That's what a play set in a period is supposed to do, but I guess you didn't know that. :)

[notyouraveragething]

@Kuerbiskoenigin Um and you watched this because.......?

[Kuerbiskoenigin]

@notyouraveragething I like this song in German but never saw the play. Since there is no video available with the german performance I just looked out for the English.

[xojoannaax3]

i absolutely LOVE her ilse.

[ruyona]

Who is the adult woman in this video?

[HorHorBagel]

Frances Mercanti-Anthony

[bwaygurl105]

SING IT PHOEBE

And of course, Lilli is rockin out as usual.

[sedso9]

There's something haunting about Lilli Cooper's voice... but its AMAZING! Gah! Can't get enough of her!

[kstar121]

Their height difference is the most adorable thing ever. xD

[slr31]

Anna? I thought her name was Martha

[kstar121]

you're right. I guess it was a mistake the poster did.

Wikipedia calls her Anna too D=

[windsighsx]

I'm not sure what you're all getting at? Since, I only posted that Krysta was understudying Anna and Phoebe was understudying Ilse. I know the characters, lol. And, I know this is a Martha / Ilse song.

[windsighsx]

I'm not saying that she was Martha. That night Krysta was Anna. I put who was understudying who. The song is sung by Martha and Ilse.

[HorHorBagel]

Krysta is the fiercest person alive.

Just saying.
