Yay i'm the first person to post a question.
Here's my question:
Are you and Kyle Riabko dating?

Anonymous said...

Why did you move from Canada to the US and star in spring awakening?
How did it all happen for you?

Anonymous said...

Yay, second person!

Here's my question:

If you would play another part in the musical other than Ilse, which character would you play?

What gave you the inspiration to have your hair uneven? I think it's really cool.

What felt different when you moved from Canadian Idol, to some television work and then Spring Awakening?

Finally: What's the best thing that you would take out from this experience of the tour and bring with you when you perform some other show?

Thank you and I hope to see the show (if I wasn't about thousands miles away)

Anonymous said...

Who or what is your inspiration?

What's your favorite musical and favorite role?

Favorite song and lyric from Spring Awakening?

Favorite song outside of Spring Awakening?

Greg Grimes said...

Hey Steffi!
What is the coolest or weirdest thing that's happeded to you or any other cast member at the stage door?

Anonymous said...

what is it like constantly playing a new venue... each theatre you guys play in is so different in layout and size, is it a hard adjustment, especially with the first few performances making sure you hit each of your marks and don't get disoriented?

(Seen the show 7 times in NY, can't wait for Philly on June 27!)

Anonymous said...

have you ever watched a performance of the touring company with and understudy covering your role? what was that experience like? and if you didn't is it something you would like to do?

Anonymous said...

can you tell a few funny "blooper" stories from performances?

Anonymous said...

What do you plan on doing after Spring Awakening? Do you think you will continue to do musical theatre?

Anonymous said...

Hey Steffi!
When I saw the show I was blown away by your voice because it has such a unique quality that is different from anything I have heard lately...I think that it is very relevant and current. On that note...

(1) Do you plan on or have you considered pursuing a music career in Canada and/or the United States other than musical theatre?
(2) If so, do you songwrite your own material?
If not, would write scripts/music for musicals or plays?

I hope to hear you around for a while!

Steffi,
If you could only eat one food the rest of your life, what would it be? :)

Anonymous said...

Steffi, how did the experiance on Canadian Idol help prep you in your music career? Did it help you "get into character" more?

Anonymous said...

Do you feel any pressure to represent Canada when you are performing?

Does the cast ever make fun of you or tease you because you are Canadian?

Are there any big differences in performing in Canada rather than the US?

Being a Canadian in an almost all American cast, do you find that they approach certain aspects of performing differently?

Unknown said...

When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up? And do you still want to be it?

Anonymous said...

Hey Steffi!
I saw Spring Awakening in Tampa and now am obsessively trying to figure out how I can see it again. I cannot express how much I loved it. Anyway, questions:

What is your favorite scene to perform in Spring Awakening?
What's your favorite movie?
What has been your favorite tour stop so far?

Thanks!

Hi we're brothers, Mark & Noel from L.A. (the guy who brought wine for the cast).

We each have a question:

1)Who are currently on your top 10 music artists/albums to listen to and/or have inspired your music career?

and

2) If you were a broadway producer, which musicals would you cast each cast member in and why?

Nous vous aimons, Steffi !

Hey Steffi,
Are any of your family members involved with musical theatre?

Hey Steffi!

What are your favorite TV shows/movies?

Love, Yeoshina (yo-she-na) <3

Hey Steffi,
I'm just wondering, if Ilse lived in modern times, what kind of music would she listen to, and what kind of style would she have?

Hey Steffi,

When you were little, how long did it take you to learn how to spell your last name? :)

Has there ever been a moment on stage when something has gone wrong (aka props breaking, etc) when the cast has had to ad lib? If so, tell us about it!

What is the funniest thing that has ever happened to you on stage?

Hey Steffi!
First of all you rock!

Second, if you could play any other role in Spring Awakening, what would it be and why?

And third, how do you actually pronounce your last name?!

You're AWESOME!
Love,

Anonymous said...

first of all, i love you as ilse! your voice is so beautiful and your performance is wonderful!

these are some questions that you ask other cast members in your Hot Minutes:
What's your full name?
faves: color? animal? song to perform and/or to listen to?
And what quirks do you have?



And this isn't a question, but my friend sent me a link to this cute little French girl who sort of reminds me of you! I think the hair cut and the french has a lot to do with it and her bubbly, fun, adorable personality, too! :) her name is Capucine.

Greg Grimes said...

Hey Steffi,
Sorry, I had two more questions lol:

1.) What has been your favorite tour stop and why?

2.) Which cast member have you gotten the closest to while on tour with Spring Awakening?

Thanks!! :P

Anonymous said...

I just read a comment that asked if you and Kyle were dating. Now that you are in the public eye, do you find it uncomfortable that people want to know a bunch of personal details about you? Has there been any rumours about you that are completely untrue/ made you laugh?

Anonymous said...

How difficult is it for you to be on tour with Spring Awakening?

What city has been your favorite so far on the tour?

What has been the...
- funniest
- scariest
- best
- worst
moment since starting the nation tour?

P.S. You are an amazing performer. I've actually thought that if I was somehow cast, I would play Ilse. :)

Anonymous said...

How do you pronounce your last name??

Anonymous said...

Hey Steffi, saw the show in Houston and noticed that a lot of the time the audience wasn't really getting into the show. My question to you is - when you know an audience isn't really getting into or caring about the show, do you put a lot more into your performance to try to bring them in? Or do you save your energy for an audience that will appreciate it?

Anonymous said...

Steffi,

What is the most outrageous moment you have captured on your flip video camera? Also, having one myself how often do you get asked what it is or are you filming? Thanks, =]]

Anonymous said...

If you could have any role you wanted (it doesn't have to be in Spring Awakening), what would it be?
Also, what do you like or dislike most about tour life?

Enid said...

Hi Steffi, my question is: when Moritz call Ilse before his suicide, do you want to come back on-stage sometimes?

Emily said...

If you could spend time with anyone in the world (living or dead) who would it be and what would you talk about?

Anonymous said...

Hey Steffi, first of all let me say that I'm a huge fan. I saw the show three times in LA and was fortunate enough to meet you all three times, you probably don't remember me. Ok I have a few questions:

1) If Ilse was to live in our times, what high school clique would she be in or how would you describe her in high school?
2) How would you describe yourself in high school?
3) What country would you want to live in?
4) What's your favorite cartoon?
5) Meat or vegetables? Why?

-Antonio
BTW I just realized my name is in your last name lol.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How can I send fan mail to the cast?

If you just want to send a quick note to all the cast members telling them you appreciate their work, you can email us here at totallytruckedblog (at) gmail (dot) com. I will be happy to forward your email to the cast, but to preserve their privacy, it is unlikely they will email you back (I will, though).

You can also send individual performers fan mail and care packages care of the theatre at which we are currently performing or will be performing. Go to the theatre's website (listed above), find their mailing address, write the actor's name as well as "Spring Awakening" and send c/o the theatre. Remember, we are often at these theatres for only a week so make sure to allow for delivery times. It's a better bet to send it to the theatre we will be going to next as they can always hold packages for us until we arrive. Letters received late will not be forwarded to our next location.

2. How Can I Audition for Spring Awakening?
From time to time, we have open calls in larger cities across the US. We will post any additional open calls here. Subscribe if you havn't already to keep informed. In the meantime, we've made it easy for you to submit yourself singing a folk/alternative rock song on video. Go to: http://www.springawakening.com/videoauditionsubmission/ Make sure your submission is less than 500 MB and is one of the accepted formats. Your screen should change and you should get a confirmation that says your submission has been received. Trust us, people are called in this way. Lucas Wells was cast because of an online submission!


3. How Do I Score On Stage Seats?
That is really up to the individual theatres. Most of them won't release the seats until just before performances because they want to make sure the house is sold first. Some do so online, although the ticketing systems they have in place often can't accommodate our unique seats onstage. Most of them are available only at the box office (though you can purchase them for a performance in the future). The Guilty Ones Street Team members have the rights to purchase these seats before the general public. Any seats left over will be released to the box office and may also be purchased as part of rush tickets (discounted, day-of tickets).

4. How Do I Join The Guilty Ones?

The National Guilty Ones Street Team is a way for fans of the show in each of our tour stops to help us spread the word. You will get access to parties, meet and greets, and other special events while meeting new friends who share your passion for the show, all while gaining some valuable marketing experience. You must be at least 15 yrs old. Email your contact info to nationalguiltyones (at) gmail (dot) com.

5. Can I Get Discounts?

From time to time, a theatre may offer us discounts to send out to our fans. We will post any here on the blog. Subscribe now!

6. Who runs this site? This site was created for fans to stay connected with our touring cast and follow their adventures around North America. Ideally, it would be in the voice of the cast members. Unfortunately, our cast members are often too tired or busy to post lengthy blog posts on a regular basis. Company members will contribute a post from time to time and every month we will have a compiled blog post that most every company member will participate in. The other stuff like updates, etc, will be posted by me. My name is Pun. I work for the production, love this show, its cast, and our fans, and I'm so very glad you're here!





Co 231 W 39th Street Suite 1200 New York, N.Y. 10018.
