Sunday afternoon I went to see the touring production of "Spring Awakening." I'd previously seen this show in June, 2007 before it won the Tony for Best New Musical.
I loved it then and I have to say I enjoyed it even more this time. In 2007 I was startled by the freshness of this musical. This time, since I new what to expect I focused more on the lyrics and the story being told.
What a heartbreaking tale of teenagers becoming adults in a society unprepared to help them (Germany, 1890s).
Too often Broadway productions really suffer when they hit the road. I happy to report this show at the Ahmanson Theater is an exception to the rule.
