fantastic! saturday night, we went to see 'spring awakening' with a couple friends. it was very entertaining and the music was GREAT! if it's touring anywhere near you, definitely go see it!
the premise of the show is this (via wikipedia):
Spring Awakening is a Tony Award-winning rock musical with music by Duncan Sheik and book and lyrics by Steven Sater. The musical is based on the controversial 1891 German play of the same title by Frank Wedekind. Set in late-nineteenth century Germany, it concerns teenagers who are discovering the inner and outer tumult of sexuality. The original play was banned in Germany due to its portrayal of masturbation, abortion, rape, and suicide. In the musical, alternative rock is employed as part of the folk-infused rock score.
and here's a clip from the 2007 tony awards, where it won 'best musical'.
