About ‘Spring Awakening: Those You’ve Known’
When 1990s pop star Duncan Shiek and librettist Steven Sater wrote a high-energy, folk-infused rock score to pair with an austere 1891 German script, they came up with a show that transformed and ignited an entire genre of musical theatre. Then when director Michael Mayer combined the anachronistic score and staging with one of the most talented casts of up-and-coming stars in the theatre community, a phenomenon was created.
Jonathan Groff, Lea Michele, John Gallagher Jr., Skylar Astin, Krysta Rodriguez, Lilli Cooper, Gideon Glick, Jennifer Damiano, and other original cast members have gone on to become megastars on both stage and screen and last November, they reunited for a special 15th-anniversary concert to benefit The Actor’s Fund.
The Imperial Theatre was absolutely abuzz with theatre fans hanging on every word and note as the iconic OBC recreated their career-launching roles. Fortunately for “Spring Awakening” fans who couldn’t be in the house on Nov. 15, 2021, HBO’s cameras were chronicling the entire process from rehearsals to performance.
The documentary film “Spring Awakening: Those You’ve Known” will premiere on HBO and HBO Max on May 3, and since I was at the Imperial for the concert, I can promise you that it was a magical experience.
