Spring Awakening

My husband and I watched "Spring Awakening" at the Curran Theater today. It was an early birthday treat because we got such a good deal on the tickets from the SHM email subscription. We got stage seats for $30 each! The stage seating was such a different experience. I thought I would hate it, but in fact, it was such a memorable experience.

The show was awesome. We had no understudies (thank goodness). Moritz and Melchior were awesome! They actually came from the Broadway cast, so you knew they had to be good. I think they carry alot of the show. If Moritz and Melchior sucked, it would have been a different experience. I think it also helped that we knew the songs (my husband more than I since he listened to the soundtrack when he road BART to work every day).

I would recommend the show to those who liked RENT. However, Spring Awakening cannot replace RENT. I don't think any show right now can replace RENT.
