I saw the new Broadway production of Spring Awakening this past Saturday, and I thought it was absolutely fantastic. One of the show’s main themes is the damage that repression and censorship can do to young people, and it’s a very important piece of social commentary because of this. The production also incorporated American Sign Language, which was a really interesting and unique take on the show. It’s a beautiful production, and the use of deaf actors added a completely new layer of symbolism to the story and its themes.
Has anyone else seen it? If so, what did you think?
