Spring Awakening on Letterman

[termsofusepolice]

Calling it "rock" doesn't make musical theater any less "gay".

[avagke]

does john gallagher take breath at the beginning'?xD

[mikeblair333]

18 people don't look nasty in those khakis

[lolimfranco]

that guitar chord is kickass

[heyitskatie1434]

his socks fell down ♥

[ILuvBillieJoe2004]

I LOVE MORITZ STIEFEL in general i mean just the character is so deep and i truly feel for him

btw I love John Gallagher Jr and my parents make fun of me for it nonstop because i have met him 3 times

[mar91a]

@ILuvBillieJoe2004 Oh my God you're so lucky!! That's awesome.

[Gigpopx2]

I love it when they jump....

[Gigpopx2]

The SA boys get it done.

[bluebirde67]

Did anyone notice Hansen feel down before his 'Bobby Maylor' line?

[jooj741852963]

@bluebirde67 its part of the choreography

[juxmook]

Oh my David Letterman is one lucky bastard. He got to see the cast of one of the best musicals ever perform live, AND he got to see Idina Menzel perform defying gravity live as well.

[robynbobyn2580]

I like the touring cast so much better! (Thought I like the lead just as much)

[NiceView23]

Brian Charles Johnson and Skylar Astin need some love too... their solos on 'touch me' with Gideon Glick are spine-tingling...

[ILuvSpringAwakening2]

John Gallagher Jr's socks always did that it started as a accident and became a regular thing to add to the untidiness of his character

I love Moritz

[StardustBeatle1039]

Everyone keeps talking about Jonathan Groff and John Gallagher Jr., but what about Gideon Glick? I think he is absolutely gorgeous, and his voice makes me melt. ;)

[Funtabulosity329]

I'm going to see it tomorrow with three friends and we're all so excited! We're all only 14 and we're not seeing it on Broadway but it's the same cast!

[NoyGluckstad]

@Funtabulosity329 The show is still on??? I thought there were no more shows!! :OO

[Funtabulosity329]

@NoyGluckstad Well, the Broadway play is no longer on Broadway. The show I saw was part of their Second National Tour (I was mistaken, it wasn't the Broadway cast :P), and I believe that tour is still going on. I know there's going to be another national tour sometime in the summer :)

[SushiKat88]

It would be so hard to be Johnathan Groff in the beginning to just be sitting there calmly. I'd want to be dancing with everyone else.

[Crimsonchinn]

Best part is 0:15 - 3:05

[albatrosses]

Best part starts at 2:17

[adrieplusnne]

LOL John Gallagher jr 's socks start off at his knees in the beginning but end up at his ankles because he jumps so passionately :)

[lyndes33]

@adrieplusnne I know, they ALWAYS fall!!! It's hilarious!

[thundy08]

oh wow. The boys sounds off. but I still love y'all regardless. especially John Gallagher Jr <3 <3 <3

[jactionfan]

I wonder what Jonathan and John would think reading all these comments XD

[JDgirl2010B2B]

Oh, John Gallagher Jr. how is it that you make me swoon everytime I see you sing?

[BIGmac333777444888]

U R ALL INVITED TO JONTHAN&MINES WEDDING!<33

[highdopaminelevel]

I'm watchin', I'm watchin'!

[emcmagic]

Jonathan Groff, please be my sex slave in a totally not illegal way.

[Clarelisa4]

jonathan groff do me now

[TheMegajellibean]

John Gallagher Jr stop making me smile you sexy beast <3 x x x

[2ltben]

Spring Awakening gives me hope that I didn't make a mistake in choosing theatre as my career over film.

[2Shiran2]

Oh Johnny Groff, what I would do to you..

[hazeh89]

I have to perform this in march, any help on more videos like this?? Would love to know!! :) x

[sweet16jcm]

18 people wouldnt know a good musical if it bit them on the nose. so refreshing to see an uncensored performance :)

[lyndes33]

Jonathan Groff... sex eyes

[GlambertGleeSA]

Look at John's socks. Lol

[HappyThoughtsToU]

@GlambertGleeSA What's wrong with them? That's the characters costume. Focus more on his Sex God Eyes!

[petlover875]

Omg I've never seen spring awakening Ever. But I was reading something and this song came up. I can't stop watching this! Ultimate performance!

[GlambertGleeSA]

@sdrhead I know exactly what you mean!

[sdrhead]

This may sound wierd, but I love Skylar's actions on "cuz my day's at the piano with my teacher and her breasts" and I also love Jonathan bouncing up and down on "you watch me, just watch me" he just seems so into it, which I love!

[gracielalalala]

@sdrhead

omg i thought i was the only one who was in love with skylar's little mannerisms

[GlambertGleeSA]

I absolutely love this! I love spring awakening and you gotta admit Jonathan Groff is SEXY! john Gallagher Jr s not too bad either lol

[TheMegajellibean]

I LOVE John Gallagher Jr, he is soooo sexy - marry me please :)

[krispykritterlover]

I love it's not censored. *I'm looking at you, 2007 Tony Awards*

[jokerobbessed]

Even with John Gallagher Jr.'s hair he is still super sexy!

[roxyforprincess]

jonathan should be straight !

god please !

give me that for a christmas please !

[saphuras1122]

Less stompage

It's they're restraining themselves from spazzing out :)

[WorldsBiggestGleek2]

I love how they filter "The Bitch of Living" in some way on everything but Letterman! XD

[JewelofSorrow13]

Jonathan is hot.,,,.I wish he were straight!But it doesn't matter gay or straight I love him!

[Kotoko123456]

JgJ....soon john i will see you live in american idiot!

[BaiIeyandLindsey]

OMG!!!!!!!!!! When Johnathon Groff started singing I died. I didn't really like him that much till then.

[XAmbiBabixX]

Jonathan Groff is and always will be the best Mochior ever<3333

[SarcasmLovePeace]

[XAmbiBabixX]

@SarcasmLovePeace yes... yes it is(: aint he gorgeous!!<333

[Jaryaka]

I just LOVE John Gallagher!!!!!! American Idiot DOES NOT DO JUSTICE TO THIS MAN!!

And not to mention Gorg!!!

[Kotoko123456]

@Jaryaka All the guys are supposed to sound drugged out

[Jaryaka]

@Kotoko123456 True... but even his let's-die-moritz is better...

[lexierokey]

I didn't know he was gay. That would make love scenes so much less awkward.

[whitetiefilms]

JONATHAN GROFF.

He is going to marry me. He just doesn't know it yet.

[rforbes480]

jonathan groff is absolutely delicious

[ILuvSpringAwakening2]

Pleez john Gallagher jr is deffently the sexiest!!! and i agree he is the best Moritz ever!!! and he is the nicest guy i have ever met!!!

[timswims]

the blonde guy dsr is terrible

[Muffyspet]

@timswims yeah i think he is trying to be dramatic but it does not sound good when he sings

[mousy105]

The best song in the show hands down amazing performance

[mousy105]

The choreography in this is awesome :) I love all these boys but Jonathan Groff is so awesome when he comes in the song.

[LaurennWw]

i literally squeed when jgroff stood up.

why does he have to be so damn gorgeous. <333

this cast was my fave, wish i coulda seen them do it live :(

[PEYTOONIE]

Beautiful.

[eightyeightsugarrush]

jonathan groff<3

[inticlark]

Not to perpetuate (possible spelling fail) any sterotypes, but it seems like all the GREATEST actors are gay men: Neil Patrick Harris, Anthony Rapp, and groff. Coincendence?

[WennIchTanzenWill]

So true, so true. Not only that, but the CUTEST ones seem to be gay too. (darn my Jon Groff crush!)

[POTOskaterJMchic]

@WennIchTanzenWill true true....crushing on the gay one...(not that that's never happened before =_=)

[KittyGal1994]

Neil Patrick Harris is so cute =) Chris Colfer is gay too. xxxx

[chinesemusicDJ]

@inticlark

I think it maybe because of the need to hide their sexual identity from family and friends lest they be ridiculed and that gives them years of acting talent lol. Maybe, just my opinion.

[heartlandcutie13]

Oh goodness Johnathan Groff. Could you get any cuter?

Why are all the good guys either gay or taken? :( Lol.

2:22

[sakurahurricane]

tell me about it....

[FranBMan]

I so with I had seen this show more than once. It shouldn't have closed =(

[istickmensa]

Jonathan Groff's face in this video makes me want to melt...<3

[friends48]

fuckin amazingg ! can't get enough of itt

[tswiftchick]

how did they get away with this? It's amazing but I can't believe the entire song isnt bleeped out!

[kylemaples]

John Gallagher jr. = BEST MORITZ EVER!!!

[Lisabear33]

@kylemaples absolutely.

[XXmrsXXshadowsXX]

@kylemaples besides Gerard Canonico

[TWOrdway]

@kylemaples BCJ is up there too. He was heartbreaking.

[TheElektricMayhem]

I think almost every straight women whose seen Johnathan Groff wishes he was straight. That boy is too beautiful and talented for words.

The entire cast is amazingly talented. I can't get enough; to bad movies just can't give you the feeling seeing a musical live can. I want to see this over and over again.

[brigette1120]

i know! Jon Groff makes me swoon! haha he's so yummy!

[NMGM22]

@TheElektricMayhem loving Jonathan Groff form Venezuela !!!

[badass4561]

@TheElektricMayhem hey I'm glad he's gay. that means i have a shoe ;)

[maltshop8]

is the first guy the same one from the tonys?

[stveridian]

@maltshop8

Yep

[jaciira1323]

This is the Original Broadway Cast. So yes, that is John Gallagher Jr. playing Moritz.

[drodrigp]

YES! :D JOHN GALLAGHER JR.!

[TheTeeShirtShow]

omfg, where has this been all my life? I WANNA SEE IT! haha... ohh this was AMAZING!

[FunSizedOddball]

ok can someone help me because I still dont know how to pronounce Georg name like when Im saying all the characters name I will mummble on his cuz I dont know how its pronounced

[beckyoblivious]

G like the g in 'guitar'

E like the e in 'end'

and org like the org in 'organisation'

I hope I couldl help you :)

[FunSizedOddball]

O MII GOD thank you so much :D

[shellshockkked]

It's like "Gay-org" :)

[buggigurl713]

I know it might be cliche but every time Jonathan does that solo (or any song), it's just electric! You can just see that pent up anger and frustration in his character from how he sings. He's so gosh damn INTENSE!! Good Lord he is awesome.

[moonsault23]

i was thinking the exact same thing. yup, thats artistry right there!

[brodwayfreak]

completely random but Tokio Hotel's bassists full name is Georg Moritz Listing and aren't "Georg" and "Moritz" characters in Spring Awakening?

[AnnoMizuki]

its a german musical and tokio hotel is a german band soo...similar names yeah

[TheWadeChannel]

Huh. I wonder if there's a connection?

[hamlet223]

I think that if anyone ever re-made A Clockwork Orange, Jon Groff would be a really good choice for Alex DeLarge.

[blackironkatana]

The heavy set actor, what character does he play?

[AnnoMizuki]

otto :)

[brodwayfreak]

whos the first boy who sings? im still learning

[papionboard]

The character's name is Moritz.

[ILuvSpringAwakening2]

@brodwayfreak Moritz is the first to sing

[matihatthedisco]

there is kid missing... he is on the other videos and sings the 2nd part

[Arqueete]

There isn't anyone missing. If you've been watching the video from the Tony Awards, they split the first solo in two so Jon Groff (the actor sitting in the middle) could get a solo somewhere in that medley. As it's performed here in this video is exactly how it's done on stage.

[egyptiansushi]

Pretty much everyone who has ever been on a stage is wearing eyeliner.

[duberduck]

I just realized that my friend has Georg glasses

[brontesaurus8]

I was at a Milwaukee showing too! Fantastic musical :)

[uwstout2008]

Got to see the touring cast in Milwaukee and had onstage seats. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen!

[billiefan05]

SPRING AWAKENING! AHHH!!! I love this musical so much! &hearts;

[MsAnakinSolo]

I first encountered SA as a soundtrack. I looked up Jonathan Groff and couldn't believe he was Melchior--he seemed too sweetfaced and all-round nice guy. But seeing this, I get it. He is *intense*.

[notfifi]

HAHAHA OMG.

jonathan did some kind of move where i guess he couldn't get into position on time for the "do they think we want this"... so he just sits on the floor at like 1:32... i died. :)

[chexee]

that might have been on purpose because he gets up to do his line on the chair then goes back to his position on the floor, haha

[NikkiKitty86]

I would love to see Spring Awakening made into a movie! They are actually talking about filming it this winter and releasing it next Christmas! I can't wait! I am so going to see that!

[krispykritterlover]

Oh, yes, I have seen that one. But they do Touch Me. I think this is the best Bitch of Living they've done on TV. But, yeah, The View performance was really beautiful. You're definitely right about that.

[krispykritterlover]

God, this is the most passionate TV performance they've done.

[ScottZaborski]

Im sorry but i disagree i thought the view performance was way more powerful

[krispykritterlover]

Oh, I haven't seen the View one. I'll watch it. Thanks for letting me know.

[expatriatedreamer]

skylar's solo and his expression just MAKES this video for me. i've probably watched it thirty times! :D

[amphitritie]

I like this video b/c you can more easily see the amazing choreography that went into Spring Awakening. Definitley one of my favorite parts of the musical.

[alycemhm]

These boys are rock stars.

[ebug264]

there should NOT be a movie. spring awakening should stay exactly how it is.

[expatriatedreamer]

it will obviously be a different experience, and nothing will compare to the live show, but not everyone can afford to go see it live, and i think that any medium bringing the arts to a wider audience can't be a bad thing.

[cosimocommisso]

This Cast is Perfect!!!!!

[fabulosity909]

if there is going to be a movie, I think the original broadway cast should be in the movie like in rent.

[Marold101]

Yay, this isn't censored ! Stupid Tony's and their stupid censoring.

[jasmlim]

wow.

[RikkiPandolfi]

JUST AMAZING!

[Savmendargra]

This Melkior is who again? And that was Gideon Glick, right?

[sophiesings74]

melchior is played by jonathan groff

this is the OBC

:D

x

[myklstarr]

Movie version to be directed by McG. That should be interesting.

[myklstarr]

I wonder if Blake will play in the movie version. He deserves it. He bring that character to another level.

[sofiesanmeldelse]

is there gonna be a movie?

[karatechik713]

Just saw the touring cast in Baltimore. Sat on stage, THREE FOOKIN' SEATS DOWN FROM BLAKE! Moritz is my fave character, and John Gallagher Jr. is....*sigh* AMAZING! Love his facial expressions and his unique styles and quirks. And it's wierd, but I love it everytime his socks fall down. :]

[lunaarainnnn]

I love hunter parrish as melchior

[Blackdragonboy223]

I love this!

[ellopoppit111]

i like the touring hanshcen better than this one

[xSanguineBloodx]

Me, too, honestly...

[ennalyra]

I used to take acting classes with Andy. :D He's like the sweetest guy ever.

[flume22]

I love this so so so so much.

[rockxXxgirl]

I love JGJ <3

[DnDDmDb]

I haven't seen the show yet, sadly.

However, I've listened to a lot of the songs so far and this is my fave by far.

Love Moritz's hair, too, lol.

[julesnoelle]

You should definitely try to see it while it's on tour. It's really incredible to see live

And Moritz's hair is great. :)

[Dani741123]

the first guy that sang was that blake bashoff?

[MewBecki]

No, Blake Bashoff is in the Touring Cast. This is OBC.

Although I loved Blake as Moritz

[ComedyActress]

Amazing Musical.

Sat on stage.

Was so fun! :)

[fullmetalx91]

Damn youu. I sat in row J.

[akayray]

at the beginning of the video he whips out the mic like lightning!

this has to be my favorite spring awakening song! :D

[myklstarr]

I think it's totally cool how the mic's just appear before they start singing.

[StevenStraitslover]

I loved the Play I want to see it again

[antifuerth2807]

love it

[xfighttheskies]

what is the guys name at 1:46???

[LegendaryEd]

The character is Hanschen. The singer is Johnathon B. Wright.

[rachel869]

JBW is amazing! OBC kicks ass

[xfighttheskies]

thanks!!

[wolferJS]

I just melt when Jon Groff looks in the camera. Especially his little eyebrow twitch :P

[ramalama1224]

hess hottt, no liess

[dreaming92]

hanschen here looks just like the uk hanschen!
