"Those You've Known"-Spring Awakening

[fallin2pieces96]

I've never seen this version before. I think it's really good, but I prefer when Jon just sings by himself at the end.

[dignature123]

She sounds sooo strong in person.

[MCRChic101]

spring awakening is coming back to broadway, i think auditions are being held in feb.

[maudigenius]

The BSO recording should sound like this... Not just because of the ending, but Lea's powerful voice sounding SO MUCH BETTER

[jazzymazzyluvsbway]

This is so beautiful. SSooo much more powerful than the version they put on Broadway.

[SammieRaeTV]

SO AMAZING-3 I have this song on my ipod andd I love it so muchh!!! makes me cry each time....john gallagher jr is my future husband and the sweetest guy iv ever met, lea michele is my ALL TIME IDOL, and jon groff...well he's just amazing:)

[SammieRaeTV]

@littlemissdiamond12 melchior? how bout moritz who killed himself cuz he was under so muchh pressure from his dad andd the reason he was failing is becuz of thoughts he can't control? or wendla who had sex and got pregnant but had no idea that's what happened since her mom never told her? and then she died? I think melchior comes in third here..at least he's a good student, has good parents, a roof over his head, food to eat, and other friends. but still his life does suck..

[AnnabethAdventure48]

I stumbled apon Spring Awakening while listening to a Broadway radio statio and I heard Lea Michele and I was like "is that the girl from Glee?". But now I like SA more than Glee. Too bad they took it off Broadway.

[cloiscool22309]

Nah, the Broadway version of this song is much more effective.

[foundinacave]

great video! thanks for posting :-)

[theatreprincess41101]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this musical!! It should have NEVER been taken off of broadway!! I love everything about this musical! This is one out of many broadway shows that are worth more, WAY more time on boardway!!!

[nessaacosta]

Sobbing like a child!

[oklahomagal09]

her voice is like a freaking angel. it's amazing and it makes me sick with jealousy

[amit2po]

They should have kept this musical, something that teenagers can relate to. I know it helped me

[renatastarzforeve21]

this is soo beautiful and moving

[sarahrose738]

wow. i just cried.

[AmbyLea1989]

This broadway musical was soooo intense! I was crying sooo much!

[littlemissdiamond12]

Well, Melchior's life sucks. But this was beautiful.

[hunter6196]

Damn It !!! I never had the chance to watch this on broadway.

[TheBshap]

Moritz!



[shannondjohns]

Seriously, I thought he forgot his line for a second there. That was the longest pause I've ever seen in the show, lol

[thenextrachelberry]

CRYING!!!! its sooooooo sad :( I love them all soooo much :)

I <3 Melchiore....

[YouRmyParadise16]

I get chills everytimee. This performance is the exact reason I never hated him on Glee, no matter how mean he was...

[psychonessness]

I wish I could have seen this live!!! so good!

[alibegaly17]

the seven people who disliked this are totally fucked

[movieslurge]

Frank Wedekind (wrote the play basis for this in the 1800's) was someone on my mom's side of my family. O.o

[OperaGhost20]

Ok I'm sorry, but this is just bad acting...

[hopelesssharpie]

I DISCOVER ALL THESE AMAZING PRODUCTIONS AFTER THEY ARE TAKEN OFF BROADWAY:(

Rent and now this... D: not to mention the rest.

[ctn04132]

@hopelesssharpie don't be sad! Wicked is still there LOL!

[lilbubbles99]

I don't get it

[potterbroadwayfan92]

@lilbubbles99 His best friend (Moritz) killed himself. He just found out that Wendla (girlfriend) dies from a botched abortion. Melchoir wants to kill himself but the ghost of Wendla and Moritz stops him.

[LadyaLL96]

wait wasn't this the on-broadway version?

[scotmwalker]

I saw this show for the first time last year at the Winspear in Dallas. Great, great show. Very sad, but amazing. The music stands well by itself.

[StMcAwesomeX45]

Wow, I'm going to NYC this summer. I'm seeing 5 Broadway shows. I'm depressed this isn't one of them.

[mariahrose210]

@mgmmambz1 No he's not

[JosieSanelly]

@mgmmambz1 no, just they are dead, and he only can hear their voices.

[LessMusclesToSmile]

Watching this I feel like I am watching him go from a boy to a man.

[emcmagic]

Ok so i was just watching "A Little Fall of Rain" and now i watched this.. so im basically gonna cry all night, nbd.

[colliezoya]

@emcmagic Did the same thing !

[ponyridur]

i think that lea michelle's entrance in this performance may be better than on the actual recording. its absolutely incredible.

[colliezoya]

I cried at the moment he did....so beautiful!

[Onevoice2008]

tears. tears. tears. Sums it up right there.

[NikitaSoCool]

it's just so sad that Melchior ends up without his best friend and his girlfriend.....what a sad story..but it kinds of works out at the end..you know they saving him and stuff....

[ohiogoalie35]

for some reason, i reallllyyy like this instrumental version better. it sounds soo much more powerful

[Number1GleeFans4ever]

What is this musical about?

[FidoraGirl]

@Number1GleeFans4ever

the problems we face as adolescences and the keeping of secrets. I think. But its a really great show

[Yrior]

@Number1GleeFans4ever

Teenagers in Germany a while ago, before Sex Ed became...existent. It's about everything they experience - puberty, school, adults, society...it's brilliant and gorgeous. My sister and I went a couple days ago for the second time - we literally screamed when we found out it was coming back to our area.

[lilbubbles99]

Omg Lea Michel and jhonothan groh glee!!!

[liljadey96]

oh god. That was so powerful

[Glee4EVA1000]

i would pay 1 billion dollars just to see this live with Le and Jonathan and John and i wish they could make a reuion or something and make it on a dvd that u can buy

[thedaywhenpigscanfly]

i would pay a ridiculous amount of money to watch jonothan groff and lea michelle in a performance of spring awakening .. so brilliant!

[HappyThoughtsToU]

Did Melchior kill himself?

[Glee4EVA1000]

@HappyThoughtsToU no Melchior didn't comite suicide but Wendla and Moritzs' ghost convinces him to live on but personally i think it would've been easier for everyone(Wenlda and Morizt and Melchior)if he went along with it 

[theobsessionbegins]

i personally prefer the recorded version. its much sweeter and more gentle and i prefer the arrangement but this is still absolutely amazing. so sad i never got to see it live :(

[sarahsandiego2]

ima gonna go cry now

[lunchan128]

is this off Broadway?

[alissaa23]

i've trained myself not to cry when i'm watching musical clips online because i've had such a strong connection to "for good" from wicked (long story, involving a best friend that died) and i used to listen to and watch the clip all the time and i've taught myself not to cry as to not freak my family out. i just started crying watching this clip, and i haven't even seen the musical

[littlemissvixen09]

@alissaa23 :( I so understand you about wicked, it's almost the same for me, but I connect "for good" to my grandpa *.* it's the only song that can make me cry...

[alicecullengal623]

I start crying every time I hear this, it makes me want to see the musical soooo badly, but at the same time it will just be wrong without Johnathan and Lea, I bought the album about a month ago and haven't listened to anything else unless forced to since! My friends have gotten so pissed off, and I managed to forget the words to the production I'm in!!!!! If they make a movie they need to do it like Rent and have as much of the original cast as possible!!!!

[niceforachange2013]

Can i just say that i'm loving SA more and more everyday and less and less of Glee. The three are just mcfreaking epic. I hope they reprise their roles for the movie adaptation.

[gleekfan21]

god this part is sooooo ugh what are the words amazing

[aliensandus]

Is it me or is it a more powerful image when they come up from the stage? Its like they are rising from their graves.

[oNegLeEk]

@aliensandus i dont know both are powerful i like this one cause it seems like they're walking from the cemetry to him and the other one is just as powerful

[oNegLeEk]

jon+ john+lea = powerhouses!

[luvduv2]

the entire off broadway production was SO intense.

[AmiraTamran]

after he says "died of annemia" (sp?) the pause is epic!!!

[AriaSkye42]

This is so cool!!!! It's kind of echo-y...maybe I've just never noticed before haha but I like it!!!

[ak92092]

I'm kind of glad that they edited this song before it moved to Broadway.

The performance of it though was ahmaazing.

[wickedruddcook101]

from 0:01 to 6:04 i freaken get chills, tear up and i love that they all sing so well together. I think that Lea is my only favorite out of any Wendla on broadway because she full out sings this! <3

[acklbonboncat]

I wonder what the cue is for the music to start.

[niewy11892]

This gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. Still wish it was going on. The intensity that you get from a live performance is crazy.

[sweet16jcm]

the way they did the end on tour was better but their voices are amazing. just gives me chills ♥

[oNegLeEk]

he's so amazing talent like him is rare these days his name is gonna be big name for years to come in the broadway world i think he's gonna be a round a long time and adored by all broadway tv movies music cant wait to hear more from him in years to come

[xTheShatteredOnex]

Damn, I really wish this was still on Broadway.

[sarahloyhihi]

@xTheShatteredOnex i heard it was coming back. idk if the cast will be the same though.

[TheYogiBunnie]

@xTheShatteredOnex It deserves to be :'(

[ximsilly]

@xTheShatteredOnex it's back on in chicago!

[sweet2304]

why did moritz kill himself??

[WeAreWambo]

@sweet2304 his father disowns him after he fails out of school & he was contemplating running off to America but when Melchior's mother denies him the money that would allow him to do so he feels his only way out is suicide pretty much.

[rapidreadr73]

Do you have any more videos from the rest of this performance? :)

[GoldenEggProductions]

@rapidreadr73 I do not. I wish I had more!!

[rapidreadr73]

@GoldenEggProductions Aww, darn. That's okay -- it's more than incredible that you put just this clip up. So thank you!

[HydrangeaRangea]

@rapidreadr73 I have the entire off-broadway show.

[rapidreadr73]

@HydrangeaRangea Oh, I've actually found it already, too, but thank you! :)

[xintoxthexblue]

'SCUSE ME WHILE I SOB.

OKBAI.

[becausehescrazy]

Bitch can't handle any of this!

I love him, he's great!

[RentHead711]

ohmygod, when he started crying it gave me chills

[jenziix3]

this made me cry.

[cullenbelle]

yes, it was Wendla she was pregnant by him and she died in the abortion her mom was making her get. this is their sprits concvincing melchior not to kill himself

[dimi546]

In the translated book, Moritz is actually kind of cruel. He carries his head under his arm (he shot himself in the head) and he tells Melchior, that only if he touches his hand, he, too, will die and join him in the afterlife. Wendla doesn't even know up. A masked man takes Melchipr from Moritz and tells Moritz to leave.

[thatonekid1151]

Oh crap, Wendla died too? Why? Why? WHY? So sad, man. Tears. :-'(

[SuperGleek4life]

This scene always make me cry. :(

[HarmacySadattiude101]

@SuperGleek4life , me to; ANYTIME i watch this scene i just bust out in tears

[WorldsBiggestGleek2]

I'm never able to catch it when they say the way the tombstone says Wendla dies. If anyone heard it, please reply. It's bothering me not knowing! XD

[LucyPeeface]

@WorldsBiggestGleek2 It says that she died of Anemia

[WorldsBiggestGleek2]

@LucyPeeface Ohhhh! Ok! Thanks! :)

[Sh3Cr8zy13]

@WorldsBiggestGleek2 She dies from a botched abortion. That man that her mother took her to was an abortionist. What it said on her grave was that she died from anemia.

[WorldsBiggestGleek2]

@Sh3Cr8zy13 Yeah I know about the abortion part of it. I just never heard what it said on her headstone. Someone else told me already, but thanks! :)

[gleekkidcoraline]

Is it just me or does it seem so akward when Wendla "rises" from her grave. She just walked onto the stage... which appears to be a small portion of their Broadway stage.

[WorldsBiggestGleek2]

@gleekkidcoraline How does it seem awkward....

[marketwolf]

The Broadway version of this song is way better, but I like this too.

The Brazilian version of Spring Awakening called O Despertar da Primavera is so emotional that everytime I watched the show I've cried a lot, especially in Velhos Conhecidos (Those You've Known).

Take a look at the Brazilian version:

watch?v=n2J0ajNFWwI

[thegrayskys]

I prefer the Broadway version of this song, but this is still amazing. I looooooove Lea's note at the end.

[ZACCYBABY4EVA]

crying :')

[Kari166]

@bearofthekooky, No.

[SetThisBallroomAglow]

Never fails to make me cry.

[aly618]

@bearofthekooky No Melchior doesn't kill himself (:

[m0m057]

that's terribly sad . .

[mandith]

wow, when Lea Michelle entered the scene, I had goosebumps! So great!

[97Sophielove]

@PorcelainVanity, Jonathan Groff is gay. - I'm guessing your a girl. So I don't think he's your souldmate. -sorry.

[llc88]

I wish I had seen this show. I fell in love with it, and twice now I've missed the opportunity to see it. This is such a great show, thanks for posting this.

[hsmsucks12]

okay so did john gallagher jr's character die? and how did lea michele's character die???

[Trixielexi]

@hsmsucks12 Yes, he killed himself, and Wendla died from the abortion.

[PorcelainVanity]

This is amazing..

I'm convinced Jonathan Groff is my soulmate <3

He's wonderful

[taylorswift0569]

why are all the awesome, cute guys gay??

[CaliforniaGirlie9542]

@kirakirashiya i thought the same thing! xD haha(:

[elliemakesmusic]

jonathan groff is an amazing actor. this scene makes my heartbreak. 

[loveangel4410]

awwww...

poor Malchior... and Wendla. I was crying when her mom took her to get an abortion and she was calling out for her mom...

*cries*

[emilycool1997]

if you look closely during the moment he just doesnt move, its like hes basicly in shock. hes just staring blankly somewhere but if you look close than you see he starts breathing heavily.

[PinkPufflePie]

this scence brings me to tears. the emotion Jonathan brings to it.

and then when Lea and John join and sing...wow. amazing.

when all three of them sing together on the end...it's breath-taking.

[Gizzleberry]

omg i need to stop sobbing at this sceen lol love it though :)

[xXEmoxLoverXx1]

Awwwww Johnathon Groff is great in this broadway :)

[hmc1115]

best three people on broadway in the universe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sourpatch5559]

can some1 plz tell me the lyrics of this!

[bethanypedersen13]

I heard that John gallagher Jr. and lea Michele were or are dating. Is it true ? I just want to know.

[ImFancyPants]

i wish jonathan groff wasnt gay..

id be all over that if he wasnt!!!

[ohhappy08]

Her voice gives me shivers :) She's too amazing for words...

[hottluv32]

Lea makes singing look so easy :/ Jealous :p

[Soccerfan217]

Are some of the lines different then in the Broadway play? Because in here I heard "And thank their God." but in the broadway version I heard "And face their God!" or am I imagining things?

[bethiekins26]

yes he does

[Tyanes17]

I haven't watch the musical. What happens to him?

[potterbroadwayfan92]

@Tyanes17 Nothing. He just has to deal with the death of his friend and girlfriend.

[Nerdiphobia]

I was crying at the end of this :(( it's so sad!

[lafowtlowd]

I SOBBED for like an hour after this. This whole musical is so incredible, breathtaking! I am at a loss for the words to describe it.

They are both AMAZING in Glee too :)

[radicalxxrachel]

and I've died. I WANT TO SEE THIS AGAIN SO BADLY. :( I love spring awakening. I WANT THE MOVIE NOW.

[Mowmow97]

at the end when he runs off wendla is reaching to him and im like crying cuz its sooo sad

[Mowmow97]

he like stops for like a minute lolz

[thealexx3]

i might get shot for saying this... but i personally think that although jonathan groff is obviously fabulous... jake esptein is slightly more raw and real... therefore better.

[Ladylilsn]

I loved this play. I watched one where this scene is much deeper though. There's fog on the stage, his acting is much more dramatic. It actually gave me the chills to see it. It was harder to understand his lines too... anyways... Jonathan rocks!! :)

[millgatekate]

Her voice is soooo amazing. Jealous

[Ladylilsn]

@millgatekate - I'm jealous too lol. Took singing classes for a year! When I was getting good my teacher quit the job... :(

[mdog143]

Question. when he brushed off that grave.. he said that it was Wendla's right?

[GoldenEggProductions]

@mdog143 he said, "And here, a fresh one. Here rests in Wendla Bergman." So yes, that is correct.

[sarikaris]

I've watched this 1000 times before and I'm

about to cry. Jon Groff is amazing.

[Gizzleberry]

omg his heart is breaking

[LaurennWw]

this scene absolutely kills me.

jgroff is incredible and i love this song.

[NinjaAlchemisthXc]

God...  Jonathan Groff puts Jake Epstein to shame for sure.

[muffin903]

WHAT AN AMAZING ACTOR!! <3

[bluecitrusforever]

This always makes me get teary eyed....I love Jonathan Groff he's amazing

[Mally1225]

Lea singing = chills

[kirakirashiya]

he stood silent for almost a minute... was it part of the scene or did he forget his line? XD btw, I love JonGroff.

[GoldenEggProductions]

@kirakirashiya It was part of the scene. He is supposed to be speechless after seeing the grave, and well, no one does it better than he does.

[johandasu]

.......holy shit, that is truley amazing

[whitetiefilms]

The fact that the house is completely silent when he is not saying anything is absolutely stunning. And he is such a great actor...

AND HE'S SUPER SEXY. I'm going to marry him. Seriously.

[glorifiedgleek]

Wow. He is a good actor. I mean you see that there is nothing there, but he does such a good job of making you believe something's there.

[dreampeace101]

i balled like a baby during this scene when i saw it! its my favorite song in the entire show. They're all so powerful, but this one hit home especially.

[OMGrhani]

that moment of silence is soooo long! lol.

[gilmoregirl0306]

how...explicit is the sex scene exactly? im interested in seeing it, but i want to be a careful.

[NinjaAlchemisthXc]

@gilmoregirl0306 Relatively explicit... You see the... uhh motions. And you see melchior's butt

[smallcutie101]

@gilmoregirl0306 you see wendla's breast also. not to be stalker but how old are you because i've seen it and i'm pretty young too.

[JAR2369]

@gilmoregirl0306 The sex scene is like 95% clothed cept for Melchior pulling his pants down, you can sort of see his butt. Other than that, its fully clothed and they just move together for like 10seconds or so.

[GoldenEggProductions]

well and wendla shows her breast as smallcutie101 said. so it's not fully clothed..... but other than that, all the clothes are on.

[TheLadybirdsPicnic]

basically they kiss, then he lies down on top of her, you see her boobs, and motions, and then you see his ass. and thats pretty much it. theres not real nudity or anything.

[crazyrandom3]

@gilmoregirl0306 It's not like pornography or anything. It's not like he actually has sex with her. It's just simulated. Basically he just kisses her and lies on top of her and unbuttons her shirt a little and it reveals her breast. Then he pulls his pants down a few inches and you can see his butt. If you watch it online it will be relatively blurry so you can't really see everything. It's like 30 seconds. It's not a big deal. I will say, though, it's very artistic and very well done.

[rebelprincess64]

i loved this play! <3 it's so amazing. jonathan, john and lea will always be my favorite melchior, moritz and wendla.

[lilsinger1130]

im seeing it tomorrow: im extrememly excited. (:

[ell0mynameis]

@smallcutie101 did you have Jake Epstein as Melchior?

[smallcutie101]

@ell0mynameis yeah :]
