So yeah if anyone doesn't know I am obsessed with Spring Awakening. It is a really bad addiction. And it doesn't help that the theater is just a few subway stops away and I can obtain cheap tickets ($20-$40). Anyway so last night or tonight or however you see it (I saw it on Tuesday June 3) I saw Spring Awakening again with my sister Amanda. I can't keep track how many times I've seen it... is that bad? Anyway we got onstage tickets which are the cheapest but the BEST ONES in the house. You get to sit on stage and if your lucky, like my sister and I were, you get to sit next to the cast members and stare at them all you want! So I got to sit next to a lot of different people. My sister was next to an ensemble member Alice Lee who happened to have the exact same watch as my sister, plus they are both asian FREAKY!

So yeah I got to sit next to Blake Bashoff who was on LOST for a bit. On LOST he was the boyfriend to Bens daugther named Carl. He is amazing in SA (aka Spring Awakening)! He is just hilarious and sings really well too. He didn't do much when he was sitting next to me. He was intently watching the play and I kind of touched my left arm with his right arm!!! =P Matt Doyle also sat next to me who is now playing Hanschen. He does a pretty good job. I think he might of had allergies or something because he kept wiping his nose. I also got to sit next to Blake Daniel. He is adorable and sings really well too!

The new Wendla and Melchior were ok. I couldn't judge because I was kind of towards the back of the stage right by the drums and the violins so I couldn't hear very well. The new Melchior is kind of over dramatic at times and I think he can improve singing wise. I thought Alexandra Socha who played Wendla was pretty good acting wise. She phrased things weirdly though when she sang. Sometimes I couldn't hear her very well. I am going to have to judge them better from the front when I can actually hear him. I do miss Leah Michelle and Jonathan Groff though. I think maybe because I saw them so many times playing the parts and they did it so well! I had never seen anyone else play Wendla or Melchior before so I was used to their way of playing the parts.

At the end they all come out on stage and sing Song of Purple Summer. The Adult Woman (Christine Estabrook) walked out and faced where I was sitting and she winked at me! hmmm I wonder why? I am pretty sure it was at me.. hmmm

Oh and one last note.. Whoopie Goldberg was there tonight at Spring Awakening! I didn't get to talk to her but I saw her lots of times up close =D
