This acutually makes my day every sigle time i watch it! It's such an incredible cast. ....and the song....SO beautiful, and moving. Thank you for the video!
I believe the oldest cast member was Phoebe Strole, and she was 23 when Spring Awakening opened off broadway. The youngest cast member was Jennifer Damiano, she was 15.
they were also cast while they were younger. some of them were in the show during its workshops before it went off broadway. lea michelle was 14 in the original workshop and was still in the broadway cast at 19.
Keep in mind, it would also be pretty illegal if lets say a 16 year old played Wendla, with a naughty scene like I believe (which Damiano was set to do until they figured out she was 15)
Folks, If you don't like this show, well, then you don't like musical theatre. It's the freshest, best thing on Broadway in years. Maybe a decade or more. Well, since Wicked opened. :)
I wasn't being literal; I was using hyperbole. Geesh. I thought that was obvious. It's like saying if you don't like fresh watermelon you're not human. Get it?
