Spring Awakening

Tonight five of my friends and I went to see the new musical Spring Awakening.
I won't give away any endings or spoil anything for you, but I will provide you with a brief description in hopes of capturing your interest.
Spring Awakening is a musical recently created by Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik based on the original play by Frank Wedekind. It takes place in Luthern Germany. The play is about young love and the problems of being a teenager and follows the lives of a few young adults. There are three true main characters. One of them, the protangonist, is the rebel who does not believe in societal restraints and doesn't want to conform. Another one, the rebels friend, is a character who strives to succeed in society, but keeps failing and displeasing his parents. The last one is the protagonists love. She is confused by the secrets her mother has kept from her and also questions the society she lives in.
What's unique about this play is that it's open with the issues it addresses. Sex is not mentioned; rather, it is displayed. Suicide is exposed. Gay relations are witnessed. Language is used as one truly uses language.

The version I saw was put on by univeristy students. They performed beautifuly and truly captured my attention; there was not a single moment where my eyes were not fixed on the stage. The actors' chemistry truly brought the show to life and had the audience holding on to every word and action. Applause came from every person when the cast allowed of time for it to take place.

Yasher Koach to the cast.
