Today I'm posting a recom-Mc-dation for the hit broadway play Spring Awakening. SA won the Tony award for best musical in 2007 and for good reason. The musical is based on the controversial 1891 German play of the same title. It's set in late-nineteenth century Germany and it's not your typical "PG" rated musical. The original play was banned in Germany due to its portrayal of masturbation, abortion, rape and suicide. Heavy topics for anyone to sit through but throw in modern folk-rock power songs, this play comes alive.
Not many college-goers are into the theater scene but this is a musical that really appeals to a youth audience. If you get the chance, see it. Student rush tickets are only $20 an hour before the show. It's playing today and tomorrow in Minneapolis before rushing off to the next great city. If you missed it, make sure you download the soundtrack or catch it when it comes to your town.
Here is Spring Awakening playing at the Tony awards. So awesome.
