My daughter is asking to go see Spring Awakening. Has anybody seen it? Any reviews?

Most. Amazing. Play. Ever.
Seriously. Question though, how old is your daughter? There is nudity and the whole subject of the play is about sex.


In other news, anyone dying to see "love never dies"? its the sequel to Phantom. IDK how i feel about it, but I'm listening to the music and its good. I'm just sad about the story though....

She's 16 but she is a pretty mature 16 and we maintain a pretty open dialogue about sexual issues. I think she can handle it. I'd rather watch things like that together so we can discuss questions that come up anyway. It looks like there is a suicide in it also?

yes. The original play also had a rape scene, but it was changed to consensual sex in the musical. Wikipedia actually has a pretty good synposis of the musical- if you don't mind finding out the spoilers. It would at least prepare you for the topics that come up.

I did end up reading that yesterday. I think she can handle it. She wants to bring a friend and I need to make sure her friend's parents also understand the topics covered.

I cannot wait to see Love Never Dies. Love the music. Not thrilled with the ending. But I have "heard" that ALW might be having to "change" things before moving it to Broadway. I kind of hope if it's true he changes the ending. The ending kind of sucked (the soundtrack give basically the whole musical away, seriously if you don't want to be "spoiled" don't listen to the whole soundtrack).

I am dying to see spring awakening. My parents and I had season tickets the 08-09 season and it came to gammage. unfortunately i had a prior committment that day and missed the show. i'm kicking myself in the butt now.
