Spring Awakening closes this evening



Seeing Broadway's Spring Awakening was an overwhelming emotional experience. It was affecting and captivating. It is a jolting and exhilarating piece of contemporary theatre that explored new revolutionary theatre techniques and succeeded in doing so. Spring Awakening's rock score is strong and the staging is fast paced and wickedly engrossing. 
It is coming to Toronto in a few months and I encourage every single person to fight, beg, buy, or steal a ticket for this shows short run at the Canon Theatre. It is incredible and a must see. 

It concludes its Broadway run tonight at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre and I am in mourning. 

"Following a critically acclaimed premiere Off-Broadway at the Atlantic Theater Company in 2006, Spring Awakening arrived on Broadway Nov. 16, 2006, and officially opened Dec. 10. As of its final performance, the new musical will have played 859 performances and 29 previews on Broadway"(playbill.com).
