The three weeks in Detroit saw a lot of cast birthdays, including Steffi D's, Justin Scott Brown's, and Taylor Trensch's. In our first video, Steffi shares the birthday present made for her by ensemble extraordinaire Krista Pioppi. Check out the detail! It even sings a recognizable tune...is this possibly the best birthday gift...ever?
VIDEO 1 - Ilse The Bear
Meanwhile, in a hotel room, Matt Shingledecker is feeling the pressure of the tour coming to an end and sets his sights auditioning for his next dream role...Usnavi..which unfortunately, is normally played by a latino...LOL. But we think that once casting directors hear ShiShi rapping and jamming, they might just choose to overlook that small detail....ummm... Maybe..? You decide. We think Lin-Manuel Miranda would be proud and Corbin Bleu better watch out! Prepare yourself for the amazingness, backed up by Jake Epstein and Krystina Alabado.

New Video: How Spring Awakening Celebrates Birthdays on the Road
Spring Awakening Tour: Behind the Scenes - Bdays On The Road
What do SA cast members do on their birthday when on the road? Steffi D celebrated
her 20th in Boston with a pink tutu and Krystina has practically grown up on the
road from ages 18-20. Back in Cincinnati, we celebrated Kayla Foster's Birthday with 2 cakes and a wonderfully tuned and melodically perfect rendition of "Happy Birthday to You." Thanks to Krystina for creating this vid. Enjoy!

Class Assignment: Most Kick Ass Halloween Costume?
It's time for another Class Assignment. We asked our cast, crew and musicians, "What was the most *kick ass* Halloween costume you've ever had?" Here are the answers we received. Thought everyone would find this a-moo-sing.
Taylor Trensch
I am extremely passionate about Halloween costumes so, in my opinion, they have all been totally awesome. Most recently I was a sock monkey, Ash Ketchum, and DJ Samantha Ronson. As far as this year's costume goes I am having a hard time deciding between Peewee Herman (who is making a comeback!) and Arthur the aardvark (of PBS fame).
Krystina Alabado
My most kick ass Halloween costume was definitely when I was 5 years old and I dressed up as Jasmine from Aladdin. Because still to this day, I want to be her. She was my favorite Disney Princess back then and it was my favorite movie. I would watch that movie like everyday and dream about being Jasmine in real life, so when I got to be her on Halloween, it was the best.
Matt Shingledecker
I know this sounds utterly ridiculous, but in 7th grade, I went as Mt. Rushmore for a Halloween costume contest. I have no idea how I came up with that crazy idea. I wore a grey sheet, and doctored up a box with a picture of Mt. Rushmore on it and managed to put my face in the middle of all of the presidents. I somehow managed to win most creative. I wish I had a picture.
Kimiko Glenn
I guess the costume I am most proud of would have to be Quail man from Doug.
Jake Epstein
Now I've had a lot of kick ass Hallow's Eve costumes in my day. The one that comes to mind- my best one- was possibly my very first Halloween costume. When I was 7, every kid around me wanted to be a vampire, or a zombie, or a Ninja Turtle...but me, I wanted to be a cow. I asked my mom to make a realistic cow costume. It was incredible. Udders, spots, the whole deal. Best costume ever.
Steffi D
Most kick ass costume to date:
I went through this phase where I was obsessed with bows. They became my trademark while I was on Canadian Idol. Senior year, I created a BOW-LERINA costume. I was in a tutu with bows head to toe; millions of them in my hair.
(Here's a picture of me as a child dressed as a princess for Halloween)
This year:
I'm in love with Lady GaGa.
Halloween is the only day of the year where I can be her!
[Blogmaster note: Erm, I don't know if I have to say this, but for those who are really gullible, that was the only "real" picture of the cast members featured on this blog post. Ain't she kewt...? Oh yeah, and we all wanted to wish you...]

Video: Dropping Claire Off at Citadel
Spring Awakening Tour: On the Break - Charleston
"On the Break" is our series of vids that were taken during the 7-week hiatus from August through September 2009. Matt Shingledecker went back home to Charleston, SC ---where they KNOW that clothes make the man-- with friend and castmate Krystina Alabado. They were driving by Citadel Military college when who should they spy walking on the side of the road on her way to see her boyfriend? Enjoy this last tribute video to SA alum Claire Sparks who is off on her own college adventures! We can't wait for the show to come to Greenville, SC! Imagine seeing ALL our boys in bow ties...?

Video: Spring Awakening sings anthem at White Sox Game
Spring Awakening Tour Video: White-Sox National Anthem
The SA cast got a chance to sing the White Sox National Anthem while stopping in Chicago. Get some behind the scenes look at their warm-up backstage and the on the field glory. By the way, did we say this was also "Senior Stroll The Bases" day? Yeah, you'll also see a 98 year old throw out the first pitch...awesome. Play ball!

VIdeo: SWING Awakening in Louisville
It was a swing awakening in Louisville which created a lot of firsts. See Krista's 1st time ever, Krystina's extended Ilse run, and, as we had made public in a previous post, Lucas Wells makes Spring Awakening history by being the ONLY person who has played both Melchior and Moritz...crazy cool.

New Video! Exceptional Women
Exceptional Women of Spring Awakening
It's no exception that Steffi D, Krystina Alabado, and Christy Altomare are "exceptional women" of Spring Awakening, so while in Boston it was a given that they perform their exceptionally talented skills at the "Exceptional Women" conference. This luncheon is a prestigious annual event in Boston. Check out our women as they sing "Mamma Whoe Bore Me," reprise and all, and inject some rock into the festivities.

Understudies Perform! or Swing Out, Sister!
Being a swing or an understudy is hard work. Not only must they often cover multiple roles and be ready to go on at a moment's notice (sometimes even in the middle of the show), but it's also difficult on the days when you are not performing and cannot be part of all the excitement. We are so blessed to have such a talented group of understudies and swings on this show that it's a joy to root for them on the occasions when they have a chance to really strut their stuff. Here, for your enjoyment, are some videos and pictures of some of our swings going on for their first time! I get excited for them just watching it!
Actor: Lucas Wells
(First swing to perform in the tour ever. He's a Michigan native, people! Michigan, come out to the Wharton Center this week and show some support!)
Role Performed: Georg
City: San Francisco
Here he is basking, drained, exhausted, and exhilarated Post Show. Don't you love how supportive our cast members are to each other? Shouldn't Steffi D be the next Oprah?
Lucas wasn't the only swing to be able to perform in San Francisco. Julie Benko was the first female swing to go on last October. And her family was able to see it! How cool is that?
Actor: Julie Benko
Role Performed: Martha
City: San Francisco
As Andy mentioned in our last blog post, this is a really healthy cast (knocking on ma wooden head). Krystina Alabado didn't get a chance to go on for the first time until just recently in St. Louis. Steffi D captured her moment of elation before stepping out on stage:
Krystina was nice enough to upload a few of her personal pictures to our Flickr group.
More, go to http://www.flickr.com/groups/springawakeninggallery
Post your reactions to the videos below. Also, if you've been lucky enough to see one of our swings/understudies go on, please tell us all about the performance!
