I'll miss the show a great deal. It always was a love/hate production, and I loved it very much.
But I can't be too upset...after all it's coming to Cleveland in a few months and I have onstage tickets to two performances.

Posted: 1/18/09 at 2:01pmI have nothing but love for this show. I've had so many wonderful experiences associated with it, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. This is a production that I will miss tremendously.
I know you.

Posted: 1/18/09 at 2:19pmit's rare to have a show on Broadway that is unique and daring and also a hit. I think it will be a long time before that happens again.

Posted: 1/18/09 at 2:23pmEveryone knows how I feel about this show. It practically saved my life and I will miss it immensely but can't wait to see what Duncan Sheik has up his sleeve next.

Posted: 1/18/09 at 3:16pmThis show has meant so much to me over the past 2 years. I remember seeing it 3 weeks after it opened and being blown away. The show no longer is the same as the one I saw in December 2006, but it still gives people the same feeling that it originally gave to me. I have it to thank for so much in my life. While I am sad to see it go, I also know that it is time. I have made my peace and said my goodbyes, but it's "not gone" so to speak. It will always be here in my heart. Thank you, Spring Awakening.

Not my favorite show, but I did enjoy it. More importantly though, it helped get a lot of young people excited about theater and that is always a good thing in my book!
Let's hope after all these closings we get a new batch of shows to be passionate about!

Posted: 1/18/09 at 3:31pmI first saw this show on Bway in February two years ago (before it swept the Tony's, then again a few weeks ago on tour. It's a beautiful production and, despite it's flaws, the show will hopefully be looked back on as revolutionary and wonderous. I'm sad it has to leave so early, but incarnations will be around for quite awhile.
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Posted: 1/18/09 at 3:39pmSpring Awakening is one of my favorite Broadway shows. I remember how moved I was after seeing it back in December of 2008. It will be missed!

Posted: 1/18/09 at 4:41pmI will miss this show so much. I remember the first time I had heard of it. It was in 2006 and I was still in HS and one day in choir a friend brought in the cd and played "the song of purple summer". i fell in love instantly. I finally got to see the show this summer in June with almost all of the original cast. I was blown away and had to see it again. I then saw it this December with Hunter Parrish and once again was blown away with the talent. I'm glad that this show is on tour... i just hope some day that it will re-open.

Posted: 1/18/09 at 5:01pmI've been crying my face off all week. I was hoping this thread would never have to happen (unrealistic, obviously). I will miss this show so much, I can't wait to see it in Boston...but it won't be the same. =(

Posted: 1/18/09 at 5:38pmI don't understand the business side of Broadway at all, but it just seems so soon for such a popular show to close.

Posted: 1/18/09 at 5:59pmi have to agree with that! and the fact that it's not like a huge massive set with extravagant costumes you know? i hate it tho.

I will miss this show SO much.
I saw it in the beginning of the run, when people were still kind of skeptical about it, but I just fell in love with it.
I'm very excited to see it again in December when the tour comes to Denver, but nothing can compare to it on broadway.
But on an off note, is there a show set to run at the O'Neil Theatre?

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

Posted: 1/18/09 at 6:11pmSad sad day. Can't wait to hear about the show. It's not coming to Boston soon enough.
#22re: 'Those You've Known' SPRING AWAKENING Bids Broadway Farewell
Posted: 1/18/09 at 6:24pmI'm going to miss this show. I was fortunate enough to see it several times, both before and after the 2007 Tonys, and each time it had a tremendous impact on me. I wish I could be at the final performance tonight, but, sadly, I'm not. Still, I know that my previous Spring Awakening memories will always be kept alive in my heart and my mind.

Posted: 1/18/09 at 7:54pmKind of wish I had seen it on Bradway, but the evening I saw it at The Atlantic was stellar (Center of the second row!). it was the final preview night, everyone was there and I got to chat with Duncan Sheik after the show (He was impressed that I was still listening to "A Home at the End of the World") and I got a big hug from and got to chat with Steven Sater at intermission. They were very excited because they knew something big was going to happen with the show but they weren't quite sure what at that point. Well, we all know what happened! It is coming through Denver and I will most likely see it then. Nothing like hearing "Song of Purple Summer" live. It brought me to tears when I saw the show.
Just give the world Love.
