Spring Awakening, WOAH!
Posted on 21. Jan, 2009 by admin in Music, Video
Last night I attended Spring Awakening at the Des Moines Civic Center. Woah, woah, woah. It was fantastic. I was immediately impressed with the music, which was done by Duncan Sheik. I can’t wait to get my hands on the soundtrack so I can sing along to “Totally Fucked” in the car. It was everything one could hope a musical to be, there were four letter expletives, nudity, and on stage dry humping. The vocal talent of the cast was icing on the cake.
Stage seating was offered at this show. These lucky few sat in two sets of bleachers flanking both sides of the stage. I kept wondering, what would happen if one of these people had to go to the bathroom?
The shining star of this production was Kyle Riabko who played the male lead, Melchior. When he sang it sounded like Fergie and Jesus. Not to mention that he bore a striking resemblence to what I imagine “Edward” from Twilight would look like. Which got me to thinking. . . .”Twlight, The Musical.” It would ravage Broadway. I am currently working on lyrics for “Butterscotch Eyes.”
“The Bitch of Living”
