REVIEWS
Free Press
"The 2007 Tony winner for best musical is as refreshing, soulful and moving a piece of theater as I’ve seen in years. It also has the power to rock the Fisher Theatre’s roof off."

Detroit Theatre Examiner
"Regardless of whether you want to take a teen, your grandma, or just sneak out by yourself,Spring Awakening is a guilty pleasure worth indulging. If the standing ovation from the opening-night audience was any indication, more than a few people will go back and see it (or just hear it) again."

Paragon Life Blog
"Theater-goers hold onto your seats. Last night the Tony award-winning musical Spring Awakening premiered at Detroit’s Fisher Theater leaving audiences awed, chilled and I think thoroughly entertained."

Detroit News--Interview with Steffi D
"An avid theater buff from adolescence, [Steffi] recalls annual trips with her mother from Ottawa to New York, where she would cram in as many shows as possible in a week. "But I'd never seen anything like 'Spring Awakening,' " she says. "Nothing ever struck me that hard. I was going through a lot at that time, feeling like those kids onstage, an outcast trying to fit in but not fitting in."

Detroit Theatre Examiner--Interview with Matthew Shingledecker
"Advice for young people in Motown pursuing theatre careers...Just continue to give it your all because one day it’s going to happen. If you believe it’s gonna happen, it’s gonna happen, because you have to have a good attitude about it. I think the most important thing is to be happy for yourself and for your fellow people going in for shows. It is a cut-throat business, but at the same time, the people who are happiest are the ones who love the people next to them who are getting cast. It makes every ‘no’ that you get from an audition a ‘yes,’ because you hear about your friend or somebody getting a role instead of you sometimes, that’s okay. That’s a good thing. Because if you can be happy with that, then the career is going to blossom and shine."
