Today I went to this thing at the Curran Theater in San Francisco. It was this special thing where the producers, directors, and Steven Sater came and talked about the creative process that lead to beatiful thing that is Spring Awakening. It was awesome. Sadly, I have yet to even see the show, but I knew enough about it that I could follow perfectly fine. They talked about how the show appealed more to young people than to older people, but I say that’s not true. I think that Spring Awakening is for my generation what Hair was for my mother’s generation (Ironically, Jonathan Groff, who originated the role of Melchior on Broadway, is now in Hair). I think that it opens up a dialogue between children and their parents. Though in a rather exaggerated way, we go through many of the things that Melchior, Wendla, and Moritz go through. We have questions, confusion, we want to do thing, try things, and learn about things. I think the show will broaden the minds of those who see it, and encourage people to talk with their kids and teach them the things they need to know.
If only I could see it already…
