Mama, Who Bore Me?

So...I'm not really a big play person. I'm more of a movie person. I'm usually too aware of my surroundings when I'm watching a play, or I get super bored, since they can be pretty damn long.


However, I think I've found a play that I really liked. It's called Spring Awakening. (Jax--I'm sure you'll know alllllllll about this).



Get this--I was sitting on the stage! ON THE STAGE! (this was amusing during the nude scene).



What can I really say about this play? It's daring, provocative, insanely interesting and hilarious, all rolled into one hand-clappin' musical.What's even more interesting is that the play deals with subjects so taboo, they are still prevalent today, even though the original script was written in the late 1890s. Subjects like sexual freedom, homosexuality, sexual abuse, enlightenment and anti-establishmentarianism are laced throughout.



I really loved it. So go see it, fools. Go see it.
