Even with the censorship, this performance shows why the cast recording is so underwhelming. The cast recording doesn't have a hint of the edginess and angst you'd expect to find in this type of music. You can feel the difference in energy between this performance and the cast recording, which just feels mild and safe.
hate the censorship but its really refreshing seeing groff as melchior jump around and dance during the bitch of living! i always wonder how he can stay so still when TBOL just makes you feel like moving your body
God forgive me but I can't even look at Lea Michele she is so mean in real life to people. Anyone that is below her. I heard she is a horror show to work with.
This is the performance that led me to my Spring Awakening obsession...Years after its final performance on Broadway. Lauren Pritchard gives such a fierce performance. LOVE IT!!!!
Always hated that the Tonys always censor shows that do performances at the ceremony, anyone watching the event is likely a theatre fan, and it's almost an insult to the creators to ask them to change their art because people might be "offended" by the language. America seriously needs to get a fucking grip, it's 2022 and they're still too scared to broadcast certain words past 9pm! That said though it seemed odd to me that Spring Awakening would include "Totally Fucked" in their slot, because they can't actually sing half of the words! 😂
