You know I loved it on Broadway, but does it play in SF?
I'm talking about Tony-award winning Spring Awakening winding up its run in San Francisco.
Despite an annoying experience with the show's PR person (you can read all about it here) I did see this show in NY, loved it, and highly recommend it.
I have at least one friend who saw it here in the City and loved it as well...and I was really wondering how he would react to it, since he's a big fan of, let's say, the Golden era of musicals, not the modern era. He also said that despite a rapturous audience, the house was far from full. Which is sad.
What's also sad is that I'm traveling this weekend and next, and so am going to miss it.
Anybody out there see it yet? What did you think?

I know I seem obsessed with Spring Awakening, but...
Here's more on it! Yes, it's a long article on the Apple site about how the entire creative team of Spring Awakening relies on Macs...and how they relied on Apple products throughout the creative and rehearsal process, and in fact during prformances.
Being both a Spring Awakening/Duncan Sheik fan and a born-again Mac fanatic, this hit by hot buttons :)

My review of Broadway's Spring Awakening
Is on my personal blog, here.
Bottom line:
I was already a fan of composer Duncan Sheik's music, and particular his previous album where he collaborated with Book/Lyricist Steven Slater, so I may have been pre-disposed to enjoy this. That being said, every aspect of this production was really well-done, and really avoided the kind of spoon-fed mediocrity that too often infects Broadway.
Highly recommended.
