St. Louis
Post-Dispatch
Smart, imaginative and emotionally explosive, it’s no surprise that the Tony-winning "Spring Awakening" has turned into an international hit.

The entire ensemble cast is superb.
Vital Voice
Tears and Cheers for "Spring Awakening." Much like “Rent,” the last rock musical to reenergized Broadway, “Spring
Awakening” grabs you by the collar with anger and urgency.

and
what is your favorite cartoon?

What has been your best/most memorable moment on the tour so far? The worst?
at this point in the tour, how many times do you think you've had to bleach the roots of your hair? are we talking an annoying amount, or a tolerable amount?
Andy, who inspires you? who do you draw your emotion from for your performances?

Andy: What are some of your favorite musicals (and roles)?
How do you think you'll feel when it's time to move on from this company?
Amazing show tonight! This is my kind of musical! (and I am not a musical kinda guy) I will be back before the STL run is over!
ANDY:
After being so active with "I Believe..." on Facebook and other Spring Awakening fan groups, what is it like to be on the other side and actually IN the show?
Most fans say things and have opinions about what goes on with cast members and in the show. Do you have anything you once said or thought when you were a fan that has completely changed when actually living the life you used to talk about?
all of the radio interviews you will have to look through the lists to find the exact one...i found all the interviews except christy and kyle's radio interview...can't wait to see you all sunday!!

thanks everyone for posting these videos!
things for Andy:
1.what is your favourite part of this show to perform each night?
2. never having done a run longer than a few weeks, i have no idea what it's like to be in a role for a full year. have you ever gotten sick of performing the same show night after night, especially when you're contracted for such a long time?
3. who/what do you miss the most while away on tour? people, places, things, you know.
4. what's your funniest/creepiest/overall most memorable stage door experience?
5. building off of someone else's understudy question, do you feel that who you perform with affects your character? for example, if someone plays ernst besides ben, someone besides whom you're obviously used to acting alongside, do you counter what they bring differently to their role by bringing something different to hanschen yourself? if that makes any sense.
6. how do you deal with critique? do you ever work outsiders' suggestions into your performance or do you prefer to perform completely by your own ideas/previous direction?
you don't have to answer all of those, haha.
Hi Andy! What's your favorite song to perform? Also, what has been your favorite city on the tour? And lastly, what's your favorite Broadway show?
Hey Andy:
First, I just want to say that I saw the show on January 4th in Tampa and completely fell in love (even though TBPAC is huge and I was in the balcony, so it wasn't the best view.) I'm now incredibly obsessed with all things Spring Awakening and love your blog and the Totally Trucked videos. So, now that I'm done being a crazy fangirl, here are my questions:
What is your favorite movie?
What is your favorite line/lyric in the show?
What do you think you would want to do if you weren't an actor?
Thanks so much for being a part of such a wonderful show.
Andy,
where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Most amazing show ever! I'm a big musical fan and it really was great! I got to sit next to Melchior a lot! You all have such great energy... I hope to get stage seating again!
Andy, who did you inherit your beautiful blue eyes from?
