Profile of the Month: Lucas Wells Part I

Spring Awakening Tour: Profile of the Month - Lucas Wells Part 1

It's a rarity to get a cast member who's played all the male roles in Spring Awakening, a feat accomplished by our very talented Lucas' Wells. Moritz, Ernst, Otto, Georg - all roles that would not have been if it wasn't for his online video submission from the lobby of a girl's restroom! No wonder Lucas was the top vote for one of our last POM - he's done it all! Thanks to Gabby and Justin for filming Part 1 of the "Prof of the Mof."
