Spring Awakening Reviews in Orlando

We had some technical glitches including microphones going in and out on our opening night at the Bob Carr, but the audience totally went with it and ended up going wild like they were on some Disney theme park ride LOL (which some of us went to yesterday) Thanks to the fantastic audience members we've had so far in Orlando! Please tell all your friends they only have till this Sun to see us!

Here's what the press has said about us in Orlando:

ORLANDO SENTINEL

Spring Awakening, a rock musical about teen angst and alienation, is a bit like a teenager itself. Brimming with uncontrolled emotion, it wears its heart on its sleeve. It has an air of self-importance. And it doesn’t always seem entirely comfortable in its own skin.But, boy, does it have style. And, upon reflection, something to say about expression vs. repression, learning vs. ignorance.

ORLANDO WEEKLY

This is the best touring company to visit Orlando in years...If a frank (but non-explicit and non-obscene) exploration of everyday issues like masturbation really offends you that much, why are you leaving your Fox News bubble for the theater in the first place? Get out and support this kind of progressive performance while you can, otherwise it'll be dreck like Shrek from here on out.

ELIZABETH MAUPIN ON THEATER BLOG

Every generation has one – that big Broadway musical that tells the story of who you are. For my generation, those of us who grew up in the 1960s, it was Hair (although even in high school I wished for a show that wasn’t quite so dopey). For those who came up in the ‘90s, that musical was Rent. And for those who are hitting their stride now, it’s Spring Awakening, a remarkable show that understands exactly what it is to be young and alienated and yearning for something more.

Let me tell you, the hype was well deserved. As a parent, the show reminded me that what’s best for you and your life isn’t always the path for your children.

Now I see why "Spring Awakening" won so many Tony Awards for its 2007 Broadway production, including Best Musical.. The show, which is touring at the Carr Performing Arts Centre courtesy of the Orlando Broadway Series, is about as fresh as they come.

I fell in love immediately with the music as soon as the show opened with ‘Mama Who Bore Me.’ The music was fresh, very modern and easy to sing along to. I enjoyed the rock vibe in each song and really could not wait to get home and download the cd.

CENTRAL FLORIDA TOP 5 BLOG

My first teaching assignment was Life Management Skills in Gainesville, Florida at Buchholz High School, where the life cycle was part of the curriculum. I had a student ask how the baby breathes in the womb and another student begged to give the answer. “Okay,” I said, “so how does the baby breathe in the womb?”

“My older sister just had her baby,” the girl announced proudly, “and my grandma told her not to cross her legs the whole nine months!”

What? Grandma! (So that’s at least three generations that had no idea the baby does not actually breathe in the womb!)
