  • It's St Berry!!!

  • I. LOVE LOVE LOVE LEA MICHELE!! SHES MY IDOL!!

  • I just saw this on tour and it was absolutely amazing!

  • Wow Thea and Anna must be pretty upset knowing that they have a crush on Melchior. But Melchior and Wendla have a baby together

  • @Glee4EVA1000 I think they get over it once Wendla dies....

  • they shouldnt do a film. they should film it live on broadway like they did with rent. i dont see how this can convert into a film, it would be ruined.

  • 0:32

    Um. That's an interesting face he's making.....

  • Did that voice over lady say, "The musical, Spring AWAKENED, is currently playing at the Eugene O'Neil theater" as in an "ED" at the end? It's Spring Awakening, lady, NOT Spring Awakened!

  • @WorldsBiggestGleek2 no... not at all... :|

  • @WorldsBiggestGleek2 No, she definitely does say "Awakening". Can hear how you got confused though.

  • I watched this with the OBC on youtube and it was the most amazing musical I have ever..technically seen. I'm so glad they are starting another tour because when this was on broadway I was way to young to see it :P

  • Lea Michele Is Broadway.. She makes it her own and I love that about her!!

  • I LOVE the look on Gideon Glick's face at 0:17 he looks terrified lol. But I love Spring Awakening and hope that the movie casts the OBC.

  • Am I the only one who thinks that the girl playing Anna has the sweetest voice ever?

  • I really can't imagine a film version of this. They utilize the stage so well, I feel like it would be boring in film. But who knows?

  • it would be awesome if they cast the OBC to do the film. but they would have to film it quick, otherwise they'll be too old...

  • I wish I can see this show when it was here in L.A. for a short time last year. It looks like an amazing show & I love the music from the show already.

  • I wish it was possible to revive a musical even though it's only been closed for 6 months...

  • I wish I lived in New York... I'd like to go see this show. Maybe they'll do a danish version at our big musical theater, or maybe they'll do a movie version of this...

  • If it makes you feel any better, you can't see it in New York any more, as it's closed.

  • Yeah but there has been rumors of a movie, but let;s face it the movie never does a broadway production justice.

  • you'll only appreciate a film version only if you know that film is a different medium, and can appreciate film language as you do with theater

  • @sisigman thank u, that's what i try to explain to ppl when it comes to books made into movies. They expect it to be the same when it is not and shouldn't be.

    And yeah Chicago was a great movie and so was Rent. I enjoyed Hairspray too, so they may be able to pull it off, same thing with Wicked.

  • Chicago the movie did the play justice.

  • it's not on broadway anymore, they have a tour

  • Phoebe looks SO pretty!

  • hahahahahahaha @ gid's eyes right at the beginning

  • YES that is her.

  • is the girl on the far left from the new tv show "Glee"

  • Yes, it's Lea Michele.

  • i love REMY!! Shes amazing as thea

  • SA opens in Providence, R.I. April28 and I have tickets (8th row/orch) for Wednesday Can't wait....

  • have you seen it before?

  • It's like I'm your lover, or more like your ghost...

    We've all got our junk, and my junk is you!

    Lovelovelove!!!!

  • I love Kyle Riabko. I think he's my favorite Melchior. Any one else have any toehr thoughts?

  • I just saw SA with Matt Doyle in place of Kyle Riabko. Even though I was looking forward to seeing KR, MD did a fantastic job!

    I just LOVE this musical!!

  • Yeah I saw it on Thursday with Matt instead of Kyle. Originally was really disappointed that I wasn't going to see Kyle, although ended up LOVING Matt.

  • whoever did it in Cleveland, i forget who, was really good. He had a really powerful voice and actually seemed to connect with the role. I looked up Kyle after to see how he was and it seemed like the guy in Cleveland was better to me. wish i could remember his name tho, maybe i should pay more attention lol

  • Kyle did it in cleveland.

  • Well,there were literally 4 Melchior's in Cleveland:

    3/3/09 - Played by Perry Sherman

    3/4/09-3/6/09 Played by Matt Shingledecker

    3/7-3/12 or 13/09 - Played by Kyle Riabko

    the rest of the performances were played by Matt Doyle. it could have been any one of them, depending on the date you saw it.

  • I like Matt Doyle. He is adorable.

    But I haven't seen the full show with Kyle yet!

  • Kyle is amazing!!

    You have to see him!

  • ahhh he's so gooood. i saw him in louisville a couple nights ago, AMAZING

  • 1:08

  • RADICAL

  • nope hanschen is the sexiest!!! then melchi than moritz, and then earnst, georg... n sorry but ottos last... lol ive put a lot of thought into this haha and then for girls i think ilses the cutest than wendla than thea martha and then the other one... whos name i can never remember haha

  • her name is anna

  • lol i know i looked it up after i wrote that XD haha it like drove me crazy : D haha

  • I agree with Hanschen for the place of number one, but there's just something I like about Ernst, so he's my second. But I have to say that all of the Spring Awakening boys are gorgeous. I think that Otto is would probably be higher on the cuteness scale than he is on the sexiness scale....

  • I agree with Martha; Moritz Stiefel forever!

  • "but not so wonderful as that sad, soulful sleepyhead moritz steifel." damn straight!

  • oh BABY!

  • 0:32 hahahaa

  • that's a really serious part of the show, though.

  • I don't deny it.

  • I love this show but I thought remy was 12 and the lily cooper was about 30! so weird!

  • Let's see, I count one...two...three fuck-you fingers that aren't blurred out. Nice!

  • Your right, I saw Phoebe, Lauren, and Lilli I think :)

  • I LOVE Remy!! she is so amazing!!!

  • Pheobe and Krysta both understudied Wendla!

  • spring awakening has make one of the best sound tracks i have heard in a long time. i love this musical

  • it's "in the midst of this nothing, this miss of a life"

    there's a footnote next to "this miss of a life" in spring awakening: in flesh, where it says "with 'midst' and 'miss' here, sater is utilizing internal rhyme, as he does many other places in the lyrics."

  • Great clip!

  • ahh thats so funny i just had a 2nd callback yesterday for thea and I had to do that exact scene and song

  • Phoebe<3

  • no its miss

    'this miss of a life'

    i always thought it was mess

    but its miss.

  • it's "in the midst of this nothing, this miss of a life"

    there's a footnote next to "this miss of a life" in spring awakening: in flesh, where it says "with 'midst' and 'miss' here, sater is utilizing internal rhyme, as he does many other places in the lyrics."

  • it's midst :]

    look at the lyrics <333

  • Melchi-Gabor! He's such a RADICAL!!

    LOL

  • hahahha! it NEVER gets old! i love it :D

  • I'm pretty sure she knows the words better than you do...

  • i always thought it was midst...which is what she says here

  • It's definitely MISS.

    Pretty sure that she knows the words, seeing as she's been working on Spring Awakening for over 7 years.

  • i love remy in this song

  • she's great!

  • Lea is hot

  • shes 20/21 i believe

  • How old's Lea Michel?

  • she's 21.

  • "he's such a RADICAL" that was so funny!

  • When I saw the show, none of the girls came out the Stage Door. The only one who came out was Ilse. I saw Lauren's Understudy Eryn Murman as Ilse. Mostly the boys came out. Evreyone except Jonathan Groff.

  • Phoebe's so cute. :)

  • "Melchi Gabor....he's such a RADICAL!"

    OMG, that made me laugh

  • is it just me, or does the announcer at the end call it "Spring Awaken?"

    And a lot of my friends are fans, but think the book is a bit stupid. Like, they said the show gives the idea that the only problems teens have is about sex. other than that they seeem to like it.

  • what song is this?! ugh I love it!

  • the song is My Junk

  • Lilly Cooper by far is the best singer in this play

  • I love her, but Lea Michele is SO SO SO much better. And Jonathan Groff is amazing as well.

  • her and lauren pritchard

  • lea is so so amazing, and she's like my role model, but her voice (even though it's totally amazing, don't get me wrong) is kind of the voice that you here all the time these days, and lilli and lauren's are different. but i LOVE lea, and she is TOTALLY amazing.

  • Sitting on Stage was an awesome experience. I did see Lea, Remy, Lilli, and Pheobe but did not come out the stage door. Most of the boys came out except Johnathan Groff. The only girl that came out was Ilse. I saw Eryn Murman go on for Lauren.

  • Melchi Gabor IS handsome.

  • yeah, he's pretty much a radical.

  • I agree.

  • zomg john gallagher jr. left *tears*

  • I wanna see this show so bad!! It's looks so good!! But, i am too young.

  • that's pheobe strole in red right?

  • yeah

  • Proabably the best muscial I've ever seen.

  • The beginning of the song makes me giggle every time. Like Melchior is soooooo scandalous! I dunno who that one younger girl is, but the way she's so dramatic about it is so funny.

  • her name is remy zaken

  • Thanks. I thought it might be, but her picture on Spring's main site doesn't look much like her.

  • I LOVE REMY & LEA MICHELE!

  • I love Remy she is so awsome!

  • i love remy too! shes so awesome

  • and she's only 16! good lord!

  • I didn't know they had hand-held mics in the 19th century?

    Haha but I like the old Germany style contrast to the contemporary-rock concert. It makes it appealing to a youthful audience.

  • Well when they start singing they're essentially being their characters in the 21st century, thus the hand held mics

  • thats what makes the show so great and different than any other show. theres no other show like it. its modernized, yet old fashioned. comical, yet serious.

    if that made any sense.

    all i can say is that Spring Awakening is truly amazing.

  • melchi gabor, hes such a radical!

    hahaha i love remys face after she says that!

    cant wait to see this in a couple of weeksss

  • This is quickly turning into one of the most interesting musicals I've heard about in a long time.

  • it's fine. sorry i wasn't in a good mood when i wrote that either. :/

  • in your opinion. jeez, how the hell do you know for a fact? jump down my throat why don't you?

  • I'm sorry, i didn't mean that to be in a "jumo down your throat" way.

  • WHAT?! no! of all of them Wendla is the least grown-up. They have their hair like that to show that they are still being controlled by their parents.

  • I dunno . . . Ilse still has braids.

  • i think it's their way of saying wendla is a little bit more grown up?

  • how come wendla is the only one with her hair not in braids/pigtails?

  • ...Because she doesn't...

  • inner thought is the idea behind the handmics

  • The songs are meant to show how the plot relates to what happens to teens now, and what is going through the characters' heads. Whipping out the handhelds connects the old issues to teens with contempory music.

  • I LOVE this song.. but i don't understand why they need Handd Mics if they've got the ones on their heads..

  • Its for the retro/conected to the audience effect.

  • holy crap. i just was wowed by the precision of the harmonies!

  • omgz

    the gil who plays

    Thea has an AMAZING voice

  • Thea is played by Remy Zaken...i think she is the youngest member of the cast, but don't quote me on that <33

  • Jennifer Damiano is the youngest and Lilli Cooper is younger than Remy Zaken.

  • really...? lilli looks like she would be older than remy! well...thanks for the correction =]

  • yeah, she's very mature looking. and i guess her being taller than Remy contributes to that. lol

    p.s. why don't you return Otto's call? lol, i saw your user name and i just had to haha!

  • actually now emma hunton's the youngest member, remy zaken's not that young (well she is, but not THAT young compared to some of the other cast members) she's just TINY

  • Well now, yes. Jenn was the youngest cast member b4 she left.

  • Easily the most addictive song on the face of the planet.

  • omg u r so true this my favorite song from this show!!!!! I sing it all the time.

  • Anyone else get goosebumps with those harmonies? Or is it just me? :-)

  • I got a bunch of them!

  • i do! i listen to the songs 32974082987 times on my iPod just so i can get all of the harmonies.

  • so in the "TYK" the dudes who play Mortiz, Hanchen  (sp.) Otto, Georg are in the hole? Correct me if I'm worng

  • Not Moritz. It's Ernst.

  • oh thanks

  • so its Ernst, Hanshen (sp) Otto I cant c the last 1

  • and Georg.

  • I'm going to see "Spring Awakening" in exactly two weeks~~I'm sooooooooo excited! I love how the music is alternately energized, passionate, funny, and terribly sad.

  • I love Spring Awakening!

  • Spring Awakening is amazing! I live faaar away from New York so I have no opportunity to see it. Does anybody know if it's gonna be on tour in Germany?

  • they have productions launching in 10 different countries in 2008 and 2009-- Germany is one of them.

  • if theres any show to cry at, its this one. and no, its not plagerism, unless you have the main characters be named Melchior Gabor and Moritz Schtieffel (sp?). Youre good:-) yea that sounds like a good premise to a show, hows the music

  • I gotta a ? My friend is writing a show about growing up wiith two gay characters and there's a sex scene is that plagerism (sp)

  • Cannot wait to see this is 2 weeks!

  • lili equals love

  • renthead have you seen it? If you did you would know exactly why.  Sex on stage, masturbation for all to see, suicide, death, abortion, what isn't in it?

  • szo they show him whip it out?

  • practically! well, they show him doin it, but not his actual schlong, or however you spell it. but still, there aint no wackin off in rent. i love rent, seen it twice, but this i must say is in fact more racy, suicide and death everywhere, yeah... It's still like m-azing

  • oh thanks, now I really want to see this

  • I finally saw it! its was gr8

  • I TOLD YOU!!! i really loved it, music was gr8 and the content was great too.  See, im glad you saw it

  • I cried in the end

  • who are the people at :15

  • The one on the left is Gideon Glick who plays Ernst and the boy on the right is Jonathan B. Wright who plays Hanschen.

  • I think Phoebe is very pretty an di love her voice.This show has to be one of my favorites.!!!

  • Agreed! Phoebe is my favorite female actress in the cast.

  • I'm happy to report that I had the good fortune to play Phoebe's dad in a show a few years back and she's just as lovely inside as out. She and the rest of the cast of this amazing show are outstanding.

  • how is this musical racy?

  • perhaps how they practically have sex on stage.

  • thanks!

  • I gotta see this.

  • it's called "My Junk".

  • what song is this?

  • I want to see this show so bad. Thea is awsome haha.

  • Man i wish i could sing as great as lea!\! They are soooooo Great!

  • hey I have a dumb question.

    when I saw the show I saw Phoebe Strole, who usually plays Anna, as Ilse. I'm trying to figure out who played Anna. I remember thinking the girls who played Anna and Ilse looked a lot alike, but I looked on the website and none of the ensemble/swing girls resemble Phoebe Strole. She couldn't have been playing both parts; can anyone help me figure it out?

  • well,

    Lauren Pritchard plays Ilse.

    Phoebe could have been filling in for the day because Lauren (A)might not have an understudy *which is highly unlikely* or (B)her understudy *who is probably Jennifer Damiano* also couldn't perform.

    yes, Phoebe and Lauren look a lot alike, but Lauren is much prettier. Phoebe isn't, she does however look pretty on her headshot on the website --- which is what headshots are supossed to do.

    so chances are you're thinking too much, lol

  • Lauren Pritchard definitely wasn't there, I remember getting one of those little papers saying "the role of Ilse will be played by ___" and there used to be a video up of Phoebe playing Ilse on youtube, and I recognized her as the person I saw.

    so I'm thinking maybe the person who was understudying Anna did look like Phoebe, but I'm still pretty confused. Thanks for helping though.

  • Pheobe is definitely an understudy for Ilse.

    Krysta Rodriguez is an understudy for Anna.

  • Well, I think Phoebe is pretty, tapxodance, she has a nice smile & pretty blue eyes. Lauren is pretty, too...all of the SA girls are pretty!

  • the show was awesome. ur just a loser, calikatz.

  • Read the play...feel the music. It will come to you.

  • the songs are beautiful. the story is a little contrived, but so what. I thoroughly enjoyable production all round, really takes you back to the angst and sexual frustration of your adolescence...
