color me pretty excited that the tony award winning spring awakening is going to be coming to the fox theater this spring.
not only am i a fan of edgy musical theater of the avenue q and urinetown variety, but this particular musical happens to be based on the banned frank wedekind novel frülings erwachen which i read back in the day when i was a german major. it’s an aggressive piece to turn into musical theater; a great story and from all i can tell done with great music in this incarnation.
it’s playing march 9-14 at the fox so check it out. also, keep your eyes peeled here as we’re going to work on getting some tickets as part of a giveaway.
I have been ready for Spring Awakening to get here since I first heard it was touring. Can’t wait!!!!
i am pretty excited. think i may get a chance to review it too.
