Tanner Smith as Moritz Stiefel for which he won the Star News Award for Best Newcomer in Opera House Theatre Company’s production of Spring Awakening which won the Star News Award for Best Youth Production
This was such a fun watch! Many things stood out to me: - the utter horror on Melchior's face during "Those You've Known" which might just be the most touching performance of that song I've seen so far - Wendla's voice? I mean, oh my god, she has a beautiful voice - the entire cast was extremely vocally strong. It's unusual for such a small production to have this many strong voices but you really, really earned that standing ovation at the end - the audience loved it - and i love watching an audience that enjoys a play or musical, it just adds something special to know the jokes hit - the set design mirroring the three arches of a traditional church, really putting emphasis on Melchior's running away from the church only to end up at a graveyard line - and, yeah, Moritz's voice and those RIFFS!!!! Kudos to this performance and its cast!
i’m so glad you enjoyed our production of spring awakening, it truly was an otherworldly experience working with this cast and being able to reach others with this material♥️
Came back to rewatch and totally forgot to talk about how beautiful Wendla’s voice was! I totally agree! Her “Whispering” was so gorgeous. Just wanted to get that out too bc she was definitely another standout!
I was in love with Moritz voice and then he unexpectedly took over the riffs in Touch me and WOW. Incredible! Also love Melchior’s casting - and oddly his diction, he enunciates so perfectly And I LOOVED adult woman. Wonderful casting choice! generally really loved this cast but the director copied the broadway choreography pretty much to the t lol - except mirror blue night I guess Good job to everyone in cast you were all incredible
