@firestar070 i'm 15 and i've loved this since i was 12, i went for the first time a couple days ago. don't go with your parents... mine sat on the other side of the auditorium hahahha
So a little birdy pointed out to me that the person in the far left hand corner of the onstage seating who is acting as an ensemble member is none other than John Gallagher Jr.! That is so awesome.
The audience was annoying, yeah, but it's not the average audience. I think since it was Lea and Jon's last performance, the audience was more involved. Similar interactions have happened with shows such as RENT in the past. When it's such a monumental performance, the people in the audience recognize the importance of it.
Or ... I could be wrong.
I say, their last performance? Hell yeah I'm going to cheer. And I'm saying this from the point of view of someone who is in musicals; I'd enjoy it!
i'm a performer, and personally i love it when people scream and cheer while i'm performing. and if i had been there i would have completely freaked out the entire time too :)
Seriously, have they never heard people curse before? It's a Broadway play, not a concert. It was funny the first time, but then it just got annoying.
GOD, i wish id been there. i keep getting shivers when jgroff shouts "YES!" youre so freaking lucky to have been able to see jon & lea perform together, & on their last day, too. as for the audience, to be honest, i'd be shouting right along w/them @ that pt. just knowing that this was the last time jon would sing this song in this theater like that, i'm sure everyone was on an adrenaline rush. guys, this was a once in a lifetime experience, & the audience was simply enjoying every minute of it.
Seriously, why does the audience have to flip out EVERY time Johnathan says a curse!? (Which is A LOT considering the title of the song!) It's REALLY annoying!
Yeah that audience is redonculous. Are they serious? I'd actually like to listen to the song and not a bunch of retards who cheer hella loud at every cuss word. Really now? *facepalm* Oh well, I luff teh sawng tew muches. :D
@TEXTUALactivity - No. This brought young people to the theater. I saw it the first weeks after it opened and it was the theater was full of older peeps like me and STILL that place was on it's feet. I love that young peeps loved it!
im tryin to convince the techer at the stage school i go to to do spring awakening
i only do acting and not musical theatre, and the teachers a bit afraid of the parents reaction to the language and stuff, but he has a guarantee its gonna sell out atleast
to smarties996, you can't do this show, not until the tour is over which isn't til the end of May. and then afterwards, you'll probably have to wait a while for the rights to be released. MTI (music theatre international) already owns the rights and you can request to be notified when it is available, but you will be waiting quite some time. and if students wanted to do this they would need parental consent depending on the part (you see melchior's ass during the sex scene) so it's very unlikely
that high schools will be allowed to do this, because at my school at least, the principles must also approve his, and there's no way our school would let us do this. especially since we do a special performance for senior citizens and they'd probably be very shocked if they see this.
he's climbing up their because he stays their until he finds guys, at the reform school that he's sent to, with a letter from wendla about her pregnancy.
Then he comes down the ladder to kick their asses!
you mean the very fast dancing...it's the choreography from their song "touch me" basically broken down into parts, given to each character, and then put on fast forward. touch me is the whole scene when melchior and moritz go over the "obscene document" that is in question so they use the "touch me" dance during this song to tie them together. That choreography is also used in "Mama who Bore Me"
I WAS THERE FOR THIS! Just, ELECTRIFYING! Actually, I'm pretty sure the two heads in front of you during the last 10 seconds are mine and my friend's! Sorry for blocking the shot grantman!
that was the most amazing performance. i cant even imagine the excitement and energy in that theater during that song. this show never fails to blow me away!
I saw this show yesterday. =[ it was so amazing and if ANYTHING should go off broadway it should be Phantom of the Opera. This show is wayyy to good to get off!
i was there this night...the energy in the theater was so high! It took about 5 minutes after this song for the audience to calm down and get quite enough for them to start the next scene
Spring Awakening is awesome! Just saw it a week ago! Im a huge fan of the show! Its awful that it is closing. I music, lighting and actors all together w. the set make for an amazing production!!
haha yeah, the dry humping caught me completely off guard! lol. but don't worry the nudity isn't graphic or anything. plus the sex scene is done in a very tasteful beautiful way =]
Dear Lord, they were only screaming because it was their last performance. A REAL theater person would know that during final performances, even the actors goof around! Look at Jonathan Groff in this! He does it while Brian is singing! I tell you- if I was in that theater that night, I wouldn't have been able to contain myself.
I can't believe people cheer when at the theatre? SO annoying. It's disrespectful, you miss what they're singing, and it takes away the theatre aspect, it aint a bloody concert. When it comes to UK, if that happens ohhh i'll be annoyed!
Right on! People need to get over themselves... I'm tempted to fly to the UK when it debuts over there and rock the hell out of the audience.
As a performer, I know just how much a performance can benefit from great energy like that. Granted, cheering isn't appropriate for some shows, but Spring Awakening isn't one of them.
I don't mind loud cheering AFTER the song. It's still theatre, not a concert. It may have a loud score, but it's still disrespectful, especially to people who were seeing it at the first time and don't even know Lea or John were leaving.
You can still give energy to the actors without being loud during the song. You can still rock out without annoying others.
I don't think people "need to get over themselves." Spring Awakening is STILL a broadway show. A rock show, but a show nonetheless.
oh and by the way, they definitely played off the energy they were getting from the audience and trust me i perform and that ALWAYS no matter what helps a performer.
we were all fucking die hard fans and it was insane you cant put it down.
also i doubt someone who hadn't seen the show prior because diehard fans were ON THAT SHIT the second they released the tix. so. no.
A couple of my friends who saw it that day hadn't seen the show prior. They thought it was kind of annoying when everyone was over doing their cheering. Not EVERYONE has seen the show prior to that day.
I am a fan of Spring Awakening and performer too. I don't mind when people react during a song, but I thought here, it was really overdone.
I think they should have expected it. I mean John Groff and Leah made that show. I think its gone to hell now but thats besides the point. Spring awakening markets as a "new" and "different" musical. And along with those titles comes different fans. Fans that are more dedicated. so yes for any other show, this would be overdone, but not spring awakening.
no show has every had a fan following like spring awakening... spring awakening fans are ten times more dedicated than those for any other shows. lea and jon made these roles what they are. i think together, the ENTIRE obc made the show what it IS... maybe not make the show, but they created the characters and made them the lovable roles they are today. however the tour cast is amazing, too
i REALLY doubt you know someone who went to this performance without previously seeing the show... it was IMPOSSIBLE to get tickets once it was announced what day they were leaving... and your friends are just as stupid for buying them that day
people waited overnight for these tickets because they were EXPECTING it to be this loud... that what a final show is about. and with fans like spring awakening has, its to be accepted. jon was obviously loving it. ROCK ON SA FANS WE MISS YOU JON AND LEA
Oh my God, get a grip of yourself! This is the last performance for the leading roles, and you think that it's treated as a concert??? The reason people are cheering is because it's their last show and they want to make the most fun out of it! You go to Broadway plays for entertainment and fun. Not for some old jibberish boring thing.
well, your opinions are really annoying. and even though i'm the one going on right now (i just really needed a say), you're still the one who doesn't know when enough is enough. if i was there (and i will be someday) i would have cheered and cried my ASS off even if it meant i would lose my voice forever. something like this is just waaaayy too awesome to not cheer over.
and yes, DO get a grip on yourself. stop being immature because that's all it is to tell someone not to tell you that.
these peole in the audience are pissing me off it's like rent were they scream really loud at the begginging of every song like it's a concert they ruin the experence for the real theatre people
so how would you convince your parents into taking you to see Spring Awakening? my parents excuse is that "it would be dumb to sit close to or on the stage at a show where they are all up in your face WHILE they're cussing".
Well, it might be tough, but it can be done. Tell them you're mature, and you know about what they will disscuss, and if you have any questions you will ask them. It might get a little awkward at times during certain songs, but I'm sure your parents will be glad they took you,It's what we as teens are going through.They do curse, but they don't actually say "fuck" that much except this song. they say "bitch, shit, ass". More in another comment.
There is fake masturbation, a sex scene, homosexuals kissing, and teen pregnancy. Also, you don't HAVE to be close. All seats are awesome, I was in second row mezzanine, and i saw everything perfectly. It's too bad you won't be able to see it with this cast though, they were amazing!!! :) good luck!
thanks soo much! actually if my parents don't take me, me and my friends Alyssa are gonna drive up ourselves and get McD's ;) and then go see the show. she is a HUGE fan adn she was willing to drive both of us. we're already planning it and we still have 7-8 months to go! lol
it does not promote the subject matter, it shows the negative consequences. it accurately displays some vital topics, and then shows how harmful it can be to your life (i.e. after having sex wendla becomes pregnant so on...) however, it also shows how harmful NOT KNOWING this information can be. (i.e. had wendla known you can get pregnant from having sex she may not have done it in the first place.) its a very truthful, innocent, and beautiful show. it's not to be frowned upon as pornography
not religious in the conventional form of the word, what i mean is, for me it was a very passionate experience. i am not a religious person; i didn't find it like going to church, i found it as a very intently passionate experience that really moved me.
got stage seats by going day of the show on a wednsday got two stage seats next to each other around 1015 am for the 7pm show for regualr price..i think i just got really lucky haha
They're cheaper because they're considered "partial view." And I'm not really sure what jomonkeymonkey was talking about, because I had a stage seat this past Saturday night that I bought two weeks ago.
Well, this is overrated! BLAH...

And I wouldn't say that Groff and Michele made the show.

no show has every had a fan following like spring awakening... spring awakening fans are ten times more dedicated than those for any other shows. lea and jon made these roles what they are. i think together, the ENTIRE obc made the show what it IS... maybe not make the show, but they created the characters and made them the lovable roles they are today. however the tour cast is amazing, too
hersheykissesaeg 3 years ago
No. I know Lea and Jon made the characters. I was addressing how Lea and Jon weren't alone to make THE SHOW.
And there are other fanbases that are just as dedicated to their shows.
Anyways, forget it. I feel like we aren't going anywhere with this conversation. Sorry if I caused any trouble.
bluesidex 3 years ago
i REALLY doubt you know someone who went to this performance without previously seeing the show... it was IMPOSSIBLE to get tickets once it was announced what day they were leaving... and your friends are just as stupid for buying them that day
people waited overnight for these tickets because they were EXPECTING it to be this loud... that what a final show is about. and with fans like spring awakening has, its to be accepted. jon was obviously loving it. ROCK ON SA FANS WE MISS YOU JON AND LEA

Oh my God, get a grip of yourself! This is the last performance for the leading roles, and you think that it's treated as a concert??? The reason people are cheering is because it's their last show and they want to make the most fun out of it! You go to Broadway plays for entertainment and fun. Not for some old jibberish boring thing.

Please, don't tell me to get a grip of myself.
And dude, I said forget about it.
This whole conversation has ended.
You have your opinions and I have mine.
Enough is enough.
bluesidex 3 years ago
well, your opinions are really annoying. and even though i'm the one going on right now (i just really needed a say), you're still the one who doesn't know when enough is enough. if i was there (and i will be someday) i would have cheered and cried my ASS off even if it meant i would lose my voice forever. something like this is just waaaayy too awesome to not cheer over.
and yes, DO get a grip on yourself. stop being immature because that's all it is to tell someone not to tell you that.

If you don't agree with me, that's fine.
I'm just saying mine. I'm not forcing you to agree. We all have our own opinions on audience behavior and theatre.
I'm going to keep on saying my opinions like you are going to state yours. Is it annoying that I disagree with you?
I wasn't trying to cause trouble. All of you jumped on me because I had another view about how to react to it.

these peole in the audience are pissing me off it's like rent were they scream really loud at the begginging of every song like it's a concert they ruin the experence for the real theatre people

i've been multiple times and such loud audience reactions only occured during this particular performance b/c it was the last for the two leads.

so how would you convince your parents into taking you to see Spring Awakening? my parents excuse is that "it would be dumb to sit close to or on the stage at a show where they are all up in your face WHILE they're cussing".

Well, it might be tough, but it can be done. Tell them you're mature, and you know about what they will disscuss, and if you have any questions you will ask them. It might get a little awkward at times during certain songs, but I'm sure your parents will be glad they took you,It's what we as teens are going through.They do curse, but they don't actually say "fuck" that much except this song. they say "bitch, shit, ass". More in another comment.

There is fake masturbation, a sex scene, homosexuals kissing, and teen pregnancy. Also, you don't HAVE to be close. All seats are awesome, I was in second row mezzanine, and i saw everything perfectly. It's too bad you won't be able to see it with this cast though, they were amazing!!! :) good luck!
broadwaylova9999 3 years ago
thanks soo much! actually if my parents don't take me, me and my friends Alyssa are gonna drive up ourselves and get McD's ;) and then go see the show. she is a HUGE fan adn she was willing to drive both of us. we're already planning it and we still have 7-8 months to go! lol

How? I would like to hear. I'm a Christian and it feels somewhat wrong to like this musical.
LegallyBlondeWicked1 3 years ago
Why does it feel wrong?
asblue91 3 years ago
This comment has received too many negative votes show
'cause of the subject matter.
LegallyBlondeWicked1 3 years ago
But it doesn't promote it's subject matter- it just displays it (in a very accurate way, I might add).
asblue91 3 years ago 2
that's true.
thanks for talking with me about it
I feel more comfortable now with taking an interest in this musical
LegallyBlondeWicked1 3 years ago
No problem :)
asblue91 3 years ago
it does not promote the subject matter, it shows the negative consequences. it accurately displays some vital topics, and then shows how harmful it can be to your life (i.e. after having sex wendla becomes pregnant so on...) however, it also shows how harmful NOT KNOWING this information can be. (i.e. had wendla known you can get pregnant from having sex she may not have done it in the first place.) its a very truthful, innocent, and beautiful show. it's not to be frowned upon as pornography
hersheykissesaeg 3 years ago
not religious in the conventional form of the word, what i mean is, for me it was a very passionate experience. i am not a religious person; i didn't find it like going to church, i found it as a very intently passionate experience that really moved me.

jomonkeymonkey 3 years ago
40! really?
for some reason i thought they would be super expensive.
and how do u become a member of the fan club?
5934931 3 years ago
They're cheaper because they're considered "partial view." And I'm not really sure what jomonkeymonkey was talking about, because I had a stage seat this past Saturday night that I bought two weeks ago.
