Spring Awakening

Just saw Spring Awakening last night. It is great! Very good, young cast, rocking songs, adult themes and language. Funny, sad, thought provoking. And did i mention a great cast.

Did you sit on the stage?

No, second row. But the stage seating looked cool, and some of the actors sat there at times too.

I can%26#39;t rave enough about the show. And everyone in my party as well as apparently everyone else in the audience seemed to really enjoy the show. In recent years it seems every musical gets a standing ovation, but these guys really deserved it, the audience did not want to leave. The cast is mostly young, new actors who really do a great job.

So good to hear your review. Had bought tickets 2 months ago withou much knowledge of the production. Now we are enthused about choice. Anuone elde seen the show? Or know where we can find a review?

We are looking for a nearby place for a snack (not a meal) just before or after the 8PM performance on Jan 3. Any suggestions?

The New York newspapers make their reviews available online. The NY Times review is at 鈥ytimes.com/2006/鈥?1spri.html

Read NY Times review. Thanks for the input. Looked up other shows we attend and found we had made good choices, although not because of our broadway expertise. First time to Manhattan. JLB

Let me add my two cents - saw the show, have to say this was something different, unique, with a great cast and some wonderful songs.

No, I did not sit on the stage, that seemed to be interesting, but I thoroughly enjoyed this show.

Adult themes and scenes, so you know what to expect.

Agree with CPINY.

I saw the show at Christmas and sat on stage. Seat CC7 to be precise. It was really fascinating to watch from the stage and have the cast perform while standing, sitting and jumping all around you.

It even afforded the opportunity to nod a job well done, or shake their hands.

It was awkward, at times, to be in the characters spotlight and/or looking up at them or seeing the back of their heads, but for sheer excitement, you can%26#39;t beat the seats. When the characters get into a particular number and they come back to sit down, breathing heavily after having worked so hard, you can%26#39;t help but be drawn into the performance.

Highly recommended from the stage or out in the regular seats.
