Spring Awakening in Pittsburgh: In Town Press

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend. My gosh, the four weeks in Boston flew by; we will have a few more videos from Boston to show you soon.

We're in Pittsburgh this week! Pittsburgh is the home of Andy Mientus. It's also where Perry Sherman went to school at Carnegie Melon. Andy has been carrying the bulk of the press roll-out as Pittsburgh gets ready to welcome back its native son.

Check out these two great newspaper articles featuring Andy:

PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE--(mentions the fact that Andy started our official Facebook group)

(Andy has also started his own Fan Page on Facebook too so if you're on Facebook, show him your support)

And here is a review of the show the following day on the same program (though the critic reviewed two shows at the same time by catching an act of each...what??):

REVIEWS:

PITTSBURGH POST GAZETTE: "Spring Awakening" can be dizzying, even difficult, if you were brought up on Rodgers & Hammerstein and Lerner & Loewe. But fresh voices such as Sater's & Sheik's are worth the effort.

PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE: The four leads -- Christy Altomare as Wendla, Steffi D as Ilse, Blake Bashoff as Moritz and Carnegie Mellon University student Perry Sherman, an understudy who ably filled the role of Melchior at Tuesday's performance -- propel the story with immediacy, nuance and emotional reality.

If you're coming to the show, stop by afterwards and say! The stage door to the Heinz Hall is located on Penn Avenue.

Holler!
