Spring Awakening [B+]

I loved the first act. That's a pretty good start. In the second act, the play began to get serious, and I didn't like what the play had to say. Also, the music became, with a couple of exceptions, somber which I also didn't like. Even so, I had a quite enjoyable evening.

Pro's:
  • Good music (rock oriented)
  • Excellent singing/voices
  • Very good acting: personable, attractive, believable young actors
  • Entertaining
  • Excellent lighting
Con's:
  • Disappointing (to me) plot/theme in the second act.
  • Way too somber (for me) in the second act.
All in all, I do recommend this show: it's entertaining, unusual, and does make you think a little.
