Out of all six of the broadway shows i've seen, Spring Awakening has truley touched me the most. I've also seen Beauty and the Beast, Wicked, Mamma Mia, Les Miserables, and The Phantom of the Opera-which were all amazing don't get me wrong-but i've never seen a show where i felt like i could truely relate to. i've never been in any of the characters situations but i feel strangely connected to it. maybe because they're all teenagers like me. Spring Awakening will be missed.

Interesting. How exactly would you listen to "sports" or "academics"? I mean, I just love listening to football, don't you?

You probably aren't even aware of the background of this musical, how it flaunted one of the most widely controversial issues at the time and was originally written in the 1800s.

I'm going to go ahead and admit that I watched a bootleg of this musical...because I live in a place where knowledge of Broadway is practically non-existent, and the thought of going isn't even an option.

Anyways, this was amazing. Truly my favorite musical, whether it's a musical-movie or a live performance.

@jackskellingtonsora I know you wrote this comment a long time ago but boy were you right with the "hard core music lovers" thing. Now that they have American Idiot on Broadway.

@PowerSprinter it is NOT "pure shit"!

I have seen this musical and it was the most incredible, intoxicating, brilliant, and life changing show I have ever witnessed

and I'm not the only one who thinks so, considering this won 8 freaking Tonies!

so take your foot out of your mouth, and actually consider what you say before you post something so dramatically inaccurate!

I also love this commercial!

definitely rekindles my passion for Spring Awakening <3

@thefreakandgeek just took the words from my mouth i totally agree with you being a young teen (14) i totally identify with the story especially Wendla

Saw this a few months ago in Sacramento and it completely blew me away. It deserves all those tonys. The emotion the actors put into the songs and the depth of their characters. . . just wow it didn't even look real it was so incredible.

and I may sound like a goof, but at the very beginning John Gallagher Jr has one of those contagious, adorable smiles. : )

best musical I've seen!!
