Okay all it was was a large picture of the original cast. They came out for about 15 minutes and posed for pictures with the press while signing a billboard.
Here are some pics. I don't understand why some came out different sizes! I'm so mad because the ones I wanted of Jonathan Groff are small. Oh well.

Where is this billboard? Is it after the stage door (like if you are facing the SD, to the right)? The picture itself is interesting considering they aren't wearing their costumes. I wonder if its somewhat decieving to the average tourist.
PS. It reminds me of the RENT "No Day but Today" ads.
This may be a dumb question, but aren't the signatures going to be ruined after the first big windy thunderstorm?
"What was the name of that cheese that I like?"
"you can't run away forever...but there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start"
"well I hope and I pray, that maybe someday, you'll walk in the room with my heart"
It was nothing really. It was about 15 minutes of them signing the billboard and taking pictures for the press, such as Playbill.com. They didn't even sign stuff for fans. Not a lot of people showed up.

I don't really get it either. It's a nice picture of them, though.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
Are their pictures actually on the billboard? It doesn't look like it. If they aren't, what I would have done was had their pictures on the billboard, in those poses, in those clothes. I think it would be a nice "connection", so to speak, between the characters they play and representing/connecting with teens of today. (Whom they want to see the show) Just a thought.
Edit: Just looked closer and their pictures ARE on the billboard. So I bet that's what they are going for.
I've seen Spring Awakening twice (once in January, once last week), and enjoyed it very much both times. I loved the cast even more than the show, having met most of them. That said, does anyone else get the sense that pretty much everything they do is so self-serving and somewhat conceited? This, the Tony performance, even actual performances, when they hold for a 2+ minute ovation after "Totally F*cked" and come out for a third round of company bows at the end... it's all annoying to me.
