Broadway World Los Angeles says Spring Awakening “f**king rocks”.
“one of this theater’s most emotionally-resonating productions ever”
“Bursting with powerful, beautifully-rendered musical performances and emotionally-stirring characterizations from a terrific ensemble cast, Chance Theater’s incredible-sounding, fiercely-acted, deeply searing new production of SPRING AWAKENING is, I must say, one of the best, most satisfying productions of this musical I have seen in a while… and, perhaps, even one of the best musicals that this theater has ever mounted in its 20-plus-year history. Not since seeing Deaf West’s exquisite 2015 pre-Broadway revival at the Wallis Annenberg in Beverly Hills have I been this moved by a production of this musical.”
“I’m not ashamed to say that even as the first guitar strings plucked away during the opening song (even before a single lyric is uttered), I already started to get teary-eyed.”
“By the time it reaches the finalé with “The Song of Purple Summer,” lots of tears streamed down from various audience members—including the puddle I left on myself. This production is that good.”
“From its haunting first notes to its hopeful finalé, Chance Theater’s SPRING AWAKENING creates a palpable atmosphere of tension and foreboding”
“This assembled cast is just moving and spectacular—both as singers and as actors.”
“Sitton’s hauntingly tortured Moritz portrait definitely stays with you—and I love love love that in this production (Spoiler Alert) he stays around as an observant during “Left Behind” (which, good lordt, left me a crying mess).”
“shout-out to Kaplan, Ramsey-Clarke, and Magbanua for their exquisite singing voices.”
“Chance Theater should be elated at the results of their excellent, well-mounted production, which valiantly continues the show’s deeply layered exploration of important themes that resonate with young people no matter what era they come from”
“the show’s unflinching portrayal of these topics is precisely what makes it still powerful and necessary to experience today.”
“A still haunting, electrifying, and unshakeably honest portrayal of the struggles of adolescence”
“With characters you care for and a stunning score that stays with you, the show remains a favorite.”
“And, most of all, the show still f**king rocks.”
