  • At Gideon's line, I die a little inside. He's killed me. He's melted my heart and now I'm dead.

  • is it me or do they sound a little flat in some parts? but what the hell do I know I'm not a singer...

  • Anyone else notice that the soloist who sings first after the return from the music and choral break, is really flat in this. 2:27

  • American Idiot is coming back to my area in a few months. I can't wait.

  • you remembered one of my favorites! :)

  • This is definitely a song you should not sing in a penn state shower...

  • @niceview23 Oh it's all about sex alright, but that doesn't make it vulgar.

  • @camerallo Precisely. The entirety of Spring Awakening is all about sex. That doesn't make it any less of a formidable and amazing work of art. A majority great art comes from sex. Because sex is something that connects and fascinates people.

  • I've watched this video at least for the last 4 days in a row. It's my "come home from work" song. I'm weird.

  • I'm about to play Georg in the regional premiere of Spring Awakening in the Southeast. Skylar Astin is setting the bar pretty high

  • @nathankelly12 big shoes to fill...big shoes to fill... Aunt Selma has one hour to live. Simpsons reference. What you wrote here about Skylar Astin reminded me of that. No idea who that is but I still think it's really cool that you are a part of the Spring Awakening family. Never came across Canada. Only to Toronto. Would have loved to have seen it. Really love the music!

  • i want to have gideon glick's babies

  • "You were the crazy kid who hit the kid and killed--- Oh you were good!!!!!"

  • a young tom hanks who can sing? wtf rosie...get the hell outta here.

  • this is SO worth the horror of having to watch rosie for 16 seconds at the beginning.

  • @epicrubberband Gideon Glick!

  • @KnowledgeLandVideos why thank you!

  • doing this as the school musical.. i play Georg and i have NAILED his huge bit near the end!

  • @SolutionPromo I am SO envious of your school! My school wouldn't do this though... even though it's so relevant -___-

  • @britophilia our schools all about like controversial stuff so it suited nicely...

  • around 1:40 I melt away

  • i see you steven sater x]

  • Ahhh gideon :) I love your voice -3

  • i love this song and i've never seen the play :((((( it's so sad i love all the songs on the soundtrack! ernst? is that the one thats sings "touch me, just like that" he's the third person who sings? what's his name in real life. HIS VIOCE. AHHH. I'M OBSESSED WITH IT.

  • @EpicRubberband go to WendlaBergman's channel.. She has the full musical in 9 parts :)

  • @cloiscool22309 i actually just watched it two nights ago there. <3 <3 AH. new obsession

  • OBC ♥

  • this version is amazing, idk why but its just more intense for me :)

  • 3:58 Chills

  • lea michele <333

  • Gerard, the short male next to John Gallagher jr. is actually crazy!!!! he looks so young its shocking but he is still shorter than me hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahah

  • Skylar Astin sounds amazing in this song!!

  • 1) i love john gallagher jr. soooooo much! <3 2) who is that crazy woman!?

  • grallagher all day, everyday.

  • @laka101 That's Gerard Canonico. He was part of the OBC as an ensemble member, and eventually took over the part of Moritz until the end of SA's run on B'way.

  • Who is the boy on Johnny's right and Lauren's left? I can't place the character's name.

  • I must have watched this about 50 times & can't believe I just noticed Steven Sater in the audience behind Rosie at the beginning, smiling encouragingly at the cast!!

  • i can just imagine my 12 year old self, the age i was when this came out on broadway, watching Spring Awakening...i'd probably have been seriously confused and slightly disturbed but still singing the songs 'cause they're that amazing <3 Spring Awakening :)

  • Jonathon Groff is heaven <3

  • Funny how much things can change in just 4 years; SA closed and everyone's gone on to other things. Sad that the show is no longer on Broadway, but I think the OBC really captured lightning in a bottle - some shows can survive multiple cast changes (e.g., Wicked) and others can't. So glad there's YouTube and the OBC recording so we can relive it as much as we want!

  • i totally agree that only narrow minded and immature people would ever think of this song as vulgar and i all about sex...

    but if i have to be completely honest... this is one of the sensual songs i've ever heard. its spine tingling.

  • @NiceView23 It is a love song but it's not really about "doing it" lol.

  • I want to play Georg so bad

  • Ernst's part is the best by far sets the stage for the whole song.

  • I love the fat guy! He's the best singer

  • @deAfrekening22 His name is Brian Charles Johnson. He does have a beautiful voice... of course I love all of their voices. Amazingly talented cast!

  • i remember watching this everyday when it had like 200,000 views. i was obsesseddd. i am obsessed.

  • "All is forgiven."

  • JENNIFER DAMIANO! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Oh my God John Gallagher Jr.<3

  • JGJ = my baby daddy lol. I love how at 1:30 they look like they wanna laugh for some reason. I think Every teenager should see spring awakening because it is not only a great coming of age story that deals with just about everything you could ever go through and stay relevant even though it takes place in another era, but the song are so great for confused,angst-y teens who need to not feel alone.

  • @frams12 It is not flat at ALL. Nor sharp for that matter because this is in the key of D# Major.

  • 1:38-2:00 His voice is heavenly and it's almost as if everything stops moving when he sings. Sets the tone for the entire song. Can't. Stop. Listening.

  • I saw this live last week.

    My jaw is still hanging open.

    Holy.. fuck.

  • one thing you can love about rosie o' donnell: she's a serious theatre buff. =)

  • @JackieBorelli I know! I love how she is sincerely and enthusiatically in love with this musical!

  • I would love to honor john gallagher jr.'s brilliant performance by playing moritz--but I'm a woman. =(

    lol! but he's so amazing!

  • @JackieBorelli SAME. #Firstworldproblems.

  • Hey thats Lea Michell form Glee!!! Awesome!

  • @ileen13 UH---You mean, Hey, that's Lea Michele from SPRING AWAKENING.

  • John Gallagher Jr. is too perfect!

  • are there extra people?

  • John Gallagher and Jon Groff has such a great, adorable bromance. Look at those two, ugh.

  • Amazing. <3

  • I kept hearing about Spring Awakening, but I didn't know what it was about. It's not played in my country. After reading on Wikipedia and seeing the complete musical on Youtube I realised how special this musical is! Nothing like I've ever seen before. I wish I could've see this live.

  • @colliezoya

    perhaps you can catch it ! it wasss touring last year. and it's finishing up this year. where do you live?

  • @Shinitkun In Europe :D

  • @GleefulUnited

    damn. they only in the states/canada.

  • @colliezoya SEEING IT ON YOUTUBE??? WHAT WHERE PLZ GOD TELL ME, i wanna this musical soo fucking bad!

  • @dignature123 Just look for the channel of WendlaBergman, this person has it in 9 parts uploaded in good quality

  • @dignature123 Its on Google videos! The whole thing is. Type in "Spring Awakening full video".

  • Is Gideon gay?

  • @christianbychoice1 How very Christ like of you. In case you missed it, that was sarcasm.

  • @christianbychoice1 omg ur so funny.

    Hey christianbychoice, take your own advice

  • 3:07 - 3:30 with Jon and John looking at each other and singing...ahh, made my heart melt <3 although gideon gave me chills, as always

  • @christianbychoice1 hahahahahahahahaha shut the fuck up you stupid embivelant cunt :L Swear it's the individual's choice or somethin :L I hope you get raped then chewed up by wolves

  • The way they all looked at Ernst when he began singing...priceless

  • I love this song <3

  • amo esto enserio, touch me , owesome

  • its jennifer damiano i wanna see her in spiderman since i missed her in next to normal

  • @charlottekane123 I've seen it, and DO NOT listen to the critics! It is fantastic, especially Jenn :)

  • If there is one thing I miss about Rosie is all of the awesome Broadway songs she hosted on her show.

  • i was crying for awges when i found out Jon Groff was gay

  • @happymealssuck My heart broke into a thousand tiny peices but then I relized he was happy so I am happy.

  • Holy crap I love this show! I saw it for the first time last friday night and it was AMAZING! Really want to see it again! Wish I could have seen the original cast, but the tour group was great!

    This show is amazing and I could listen to this album all day!

  • touch me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! touch me with your salad fingers and your bufanda cheddar accent lips! caress my buttonhole with your jonathan tom hanks cheese muffins!!!! touch me!!!!!

  • finally a host presenter that is excited and enthusiastic about people theyre interviewing :) SA rules especially Lea

  • I love spring awakening an I love Lea Michele Jonathan groff

  • I love when Ernst has his little solo :P

  • I love Lea Michele and jonathan goff I love spring awakening

  • how adorable is john gallagher jr?!

  • wow, if Lea Michele was doing Spring Awakening for seven years and playing Wendla all that time, she was doing some pretty adult theater at a very very young age. Wedekind would have been pleased as his play was about 13 and 14 year old German children. Love the cast. Jonathan Groff and Lea Michele are such phenomenal talents!!

  • @CampbellScot haha No no, she did workshops for it for a very long time. Then started performing. She is amazing and so is Jon. Their awesome.

  • @CampbellScot She was involved in various workshops for SA from when she was 13. It wasn't that adult for her in the beginning, that increased with her age. :-)

  • @CampbellScot I read in a interview that when she started spring awakening workshops at 14 the wasn't wasn't as racy. They didn't add the sex scene until Off Broadway when she was like 19. The musical has evolved alot since the beginning.

  • Did anyone notice how proud Jonathan Groff looks of Lea? Right when Rosie hugs her and is all happy for her and stuff, and Jonathan is behind grinning like a proud papa. It's at 5:33. I think it's adorable.

  • I AM IN LOVE WITH SPRING AWAKENING

  • dear jonathan groff,

    marry me.

    that is all.

  • @moveyourchunk sucks that he's gay doesn't it!

  • @moveyourchunk ok ill take john g.

  • @moveyourchunk He wouldn't unless you were male... And if you are... That's still illegal :/

  • @CheezyTotsFilms not in every state...just saying haha but still none of the fans have a chance.

  • @moveyourchunk if you're a guy, and you move to new york, now you can!!!

  • I love how everyone's spamming the people that mention Glee, when, in fact, SA is getting more popular because of it. (I'm a HUGE Gleek but I'm also a HUGE fan of this musical. I've seen it on YouTube over 30 times... Not joking people.) I found out about it through Lea. (And Jon, but he came later) Then I couldn't stop watching it! Jon is coming back on the show and I'd LOVE to see John come with him! It'd be like a mini reunion for them and a huge gift for us to see them together again! :)

  • @GleeIsAwesome1 Amen.

  • i bet all the old conservitive ladies felt awkward

  • "How do you know how a woman feels when she....couples with a man?"

    Uh, guys. You're on The View! I'm pretty sure Barbara could tell you, Moritz.

    Jk. I love this performance. <3

  • so much loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • Wow Rosy is sooo annoying!! I miss SA!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song♥

  • skylar astin is sooo amazing... Well they are absolutely all amazing, but skylar really does a fantastic job with his solo.

  • I cry every time at the exact same part @ 3:28 So powerful

  • Ok...so here the Moritz hair style actually looks "good." How did it go from this to the crazy striaght up do that he had at the end?

  • amazing

  • spring awakening is my absolute favorite thing ever.

  • 2:25 ... sooooooooo flat. Flattity flat flat flat

  • I'm in love with the fat guy!

  • is the soundtrack of this available besides itune?

  • whyyy do they change it?????

  • did you ever notice that lea's mom is in the front row when they scan the audict after the song

  • i really love the melody of the song... but if you actually read the lyrics and understand it... on my part, i couldn't stop laughing... :))

  • I love it when John and Jonathan do the "touch me, all silent" part together, one of my favorite parts of the song

  • You can see Lea's mom in the audience clapping at 4:35, she's wearing the white sweater in the front row.

  • ha i LOVE the bit at the beginning when John Gallagher Jr and Jon Groff are talking to each other and trying not to laugh, it makes me smile every time i watch this x ;] oh and i love john gallager - i will marry him :)

  • I love hearing Jonathan Groff's lower part of his range! Idk why, I just do!

  • I just love Gideon's part, from 1:39 to 2:02 **

  • say what you want about Rosie O'Donnell but I love that she's such an advocate for promoting Broadway shows...I remember being 13 and seeing 'Cabaret' with Alan Cumming featured on 'The Rosie O'Donnell Show' and being hooked by that mesmerizing performance, it was the first time I'd seen a non-ALW musical and it opened my eyes to a whole new world of musical discovery; 13 years later and I'm now a junkie for Broadway shows

  • i LOVE when one person is singing, they all look at them lovingly. its so beautiful.

  • 4:48 so cutee hahahaha

  • aww lea michele looks so young here

  • @broadwaymike92 dont ever make that comparison.

  • @broadwaymike92 you've got to be kidding me...

  • 3:29 makes me smile. so. much.

  • Makes sense that they are all having very successful careers on Broadway. They are all amazingly talented.

  • The bigger dude who sings at about 2:20 has one of the most beautiful, clear voices I have ever heard. I wish he would guest-star on Glee.

  • @jsmith198225 That;s Brian Charles Johnson. He's kinda too busy to be on Glee. He's currently in American Idiot on Broadway (along with John Gallagher Jr. and Gerad C who are also in this video).

  • OMG its Lea Michelle (:

  • @acrosstheuniverse520 Well you cant really compare it to glee 'cause it came before Glee and is 102302351798125792735947328471­93x better.

  • Awe they're all so cute in a kid way, even though they're at least a decade older than me, lol!

    And I also have to repeat the, "You're the crazy kid who kicked the can... and oh you were so good!" Lol she was so excited. But I guess I couldn't blame her, I would be too if I met the cast. :-)

  • i love the way everyone looks at gideon glick when he sings.

  • ...i think i just fell in love with skylar astin again.

    of course i've already been totally in love with all the other people. omg john gallagher jr! :D <3

  • I don't think these people get enough credit. I mean today people like Miley Cyrus are so popular, and seriously if she had to sing with the cast of Spring Awakening she would probably sound like a dying duck. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against Miley Cyrus it's just that this cast is so talented and they go so unnoticed. Don't you agree that names like John Gallagher Jr and Remy Zaken should be famous too?

  • What is up with the lyric change. Those are not the ones they sing in the show.

    I wish they would have done the right lyrics. These ones are just weird.

  • @colddeepbasements True...they do it for most of the songs they perform out of the musical. The metaphors in the original versions are replaced with a much simpler set of words.

  • @xaykocys

    Hmm. That is just weird. To me they sound more complicated, and they just sound odd. Touch Me is my favorite song of the musical. And the lyrics are just so awesome.

  • @colddeepbasements These are the lyrics that have been in the show since it opened on Broadway. If you're confused because it's not the lyrics on the cast recording, the cast recording is outdated on lyrics/arrangements to a few different songs as it was presumably recorded before they finished doing revisions. I don't think it's supposed to be dumbed down or anything, this is just what Steven Sater liked better for whatever reason. Hope that helps? :)

  • @Arqueete

    It's not because of the cast recording. I have watched the show, and those are not the lyrics.

  • @colddeepbasements Are you sure you saw the show from later than 2006, though? I've never seen the old lyrics used by an actual production (not counting like, Duncan Sheik) since then, including every time I saw it myself, so I don't think I'm mistaken? These are the lyrics listed in In the Flesh, too, so.

  • @Arqueete

    Well if that's true for the later shows, I am right. Those are the ones used originally.

  • @Arqueete

    It doesn't really matter though. I just prefer the old lyrics. I was so used to them because of the show and because I also had the cd because I loved the show so much. But I plan on seeing it in March so I guess I will get to see it then.

  • @colddeepbasements I do not understand why did they changed the lyrics?

  • I love how they have the impluse to do the movements

  • On broadway this show was so epic. In particluar this song..

    Loved the blocking...and sitting close hearing them un-miked was awesome.

    I guess i will have to wait until somebody revives it on Broadway in 20 years :(

  • @linxMuppet It's going on a second tour. you could always see if it's coming to your town :P

  • <333.

  • If Lea Michele isn't the the spitting image of Idina Menzel...

  • wow... it's so beautiful! major goosebumps here :) I loved how when one person sang a solo everyone was looking at them and the interaction between the (amazing) cast :D

  • Listening to Groff's voice on any spring awakening tracks makes me mad at the glee producers for giving him screechy songs instead of low songs that showcase his freaking beauty of his voice.

  • I love Jon John and Lea!! John's shy smile the look between the Js and Jonathan's smile when Rosie hugs Lea

  • Omg, the obc =D

    They are amazing. Their voices and movements, and that look between the JGJ and Groff, it's all incredible. You can totally feel the chemistry between them, even over youtube.

  • My God, when Gideon Glick comes in with the first "Touch me." I swear, it's like a chorus of angels.

  • i love this song. the singing is ahmazing. i love how they are trying not to laugh at some parts 8)
