Okay.
WOW.
So I’m a major Broadway fan, and I’m usually on top of things like this, but I somehow managed to wait an entire year after it won the Tony to get the Spring Awakening soundtrack. AND IT IS AMAZING!
I bought it after this year’s Tony awards (along with Passing Strange, and this year’s winner In the Heights), and listened to it on the way to Peru, and I am obsessed! Its lyrics are wonderfully dark (almost reminiscent of Sondheim), and it’s score is brilliant. Even my little brother, who hates theater, listened to the music and loved it (well, that, and he thought the fact that there was a song called “Totally Fucked” was hilarious). And, it stays fairly true to the play, which is another bonus. I’d heard a lot of hype about it, and was worried I would hear the music and be disappointed, but I was thoroughly impressed. The touring cast comes to San Francisco in September. Unfortunatly, most of the cast has left the show to do more projects (nearly all of the leads… Wendla Bergman, Melchior Gabor, maybe even Moritz Stiefel have been replaced). Nonetheless, I can’t WAIT to see it!
Plus, Jonathan Groff is a BABE.
