See, I'm not too big on Avenue Q (it's currently playing in Pittsburgh, where I live). It's hilarious and has a pretty good plot, but the music is unbearable. I just find the music annoying, even though that's a little bit the point. I have tons of friends that rave about it, though.

*feels like a noob* What is Spring Awakening about?

Yeah same here, what is it about?

Broadway Nerdfighters! Huzzah! I'm wearing a Sweeney Todd T-shirt right now, so I'm definetly in the right spot.

My favorites are Sweeney Todd, Company, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Jesus Christ Superstar, Sunday in the Park with George, A Chorus Line, Assassins, Follies, Working, Little Shop of Horrors, Into the Woods, and so many others that don't come to mind at the moment.

I'm not so huge on Spring Awakening, but it's okay I guess. I don't know why, it's just not one of my favorites. Some of the songs are good though.

We need to find a date next season and all of us will just kidnap them (tazers?) and drag them to see it. That would be made of awesome.

Hey! I LOVE spring awakening and it is my goal to get hank and john to go see it!

However, is anybody else excited to see SWEENY TODD STARRING JOHNNY DEPP DIRECTED BY TIM BURTON???? It's the ultamite! Tim Burton is perfectto direct it and Johnny Depp is perfect to star.

dang, i wish i was a broadway nerdfighter. i've only seen the lion king. (does that even count? i don't know!) i want to go see avenue q, though. i just missed it, considering it came and left my town in like, a milisecond.

I never really got into Spring Awakening either (have only heard a few songs though) Duncan Sheik's songwriting has always bored me to death so, yeah, not so much my thing.

And Harbek, I raise your 3 years of Rent obsession by another five

Well, you beat me with having been to NY/actually seeing the bway cast, I tend to hang out at tiny european productions I'm somewhat intrigued by Rent Remixed (it can't possibly be worse than the last euro tour), might check it out when I'm moving to the UK next year (if it's still touring).

(aw, Ave Q in London I so wanted to see the OLC)

Oh yes. It can always be worse than... anything. Really. Just trust me. Although the Mark is ridiculously gay and all over Roger, which is always fun. But most of the cast is not too great, and the... music.. *shudder*  Audios are all over YouTube. The MySpace has pictures. And I have one video of Goodbye Love on YouTube. Which, trust me, is one of the better ones. ...But if you're in London, it's worth seeing once, if only for the crack value, and being able to say you have. And there are SOME bright parts. Really though, I've only seen the Broadway and 06/07 US tour, so my standard is... well, not horrible.
