The winter storm that hit the east coast messed up our travel plans to Rochester and the cast was forced to split into two travel groups. This created a friendly (or not so friendly) war of words on Twitter between cast members in Group 1 and 2.
Chase Davidson: Group one is way more skinny and talented than group two. We flew on lady gaga's private jet that served chipotle and coldstone...and gold.
Just to further reinforce their fabulosity, Ben Fankhauser tweeted this picture of Group one's hair teasing party in Rochester:

REVIEWS
DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE: "Frankly, I didn't know what to expect from the musical, and wondered how Rochester Broadway Theatre League patrons would view a controversial production that makes Rent and Avenue Q seem tame by comparison.
The overall consensus was "dark but beautiful" — and I had to agree." I would rate this play R for real. Yes, it's provocative, but its growing pains have heart. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=20102110330
ROCHESTER CITY NEWSPAPER: A rave! " Of course, it helps to have a fantastic cast bringing the songs and words to life. Altomare and Epstein lead a great group of young actors (and older ones - Angela Reed and John Wojda do excellent work bringing to life a variety of adult roles in the play). The tiny Altomare has a piercing, haunting soprano voice, and even her most difficult melodic passes seem totally effortless. Epstein is commanding in his lower register and slides through his many falsetto portions with expert precision. Other stand-outs include Taylor Trensch, who balances terror, rage, anxiety, and despair as poor, doomed Moritz; "Canadian Idol" star Steffi D as sweet-voiced outcast Ilse; and Andy Mientus, who capitalizes on every moment of the fairly minor character of Hanschen to deliver some of the night's funniest, sexiest moments." http://www.rochestercitynewspaper.com/entertainment/stage/2010/02/THEATER-REVIEW-RBTLs-Spring-Awakening/
