Hey, Girl!!! How Are You???
Hey, girl!!! How are you???
Saw @feelssogoodinmyarms do this and now I want to because I also miss this show dearly.
(By @winter-asleepening)
1. how were you introduced to the show?
A friend introduced me to it in middle school which was around the time DWSA was on Broadway.
2. Seen a production live?
No, I wish.
3. Dream role/character you relate to most
Ever since I first listened to the musical I’ve always wanted to play Ilse. She’s just such a strong character and Blue Wind is my go to (Theatre) karaoke part.
4. Favorite male character
Moritz! I’m also a Georg enjoyer.
5. Favorite female character
Ilse, and specifically Treshelle Edmond/Kathryn Gallagher portrayal of Martha (love Lilli though)
6. Deaf West Revival or Original Broadway Cast?
Okay I the first Spring Awakening bootleg I watched was of OBC, but I feel more connected to DWSA version/cast because they were on Broadway during the time that I first discovered Spring Awakening. I love both so much but I gotta say DWSA for this one. That cast was groundbreaking and so excellent.
7. Favorite song
Don’t Do Sadness/Blue Wind and Touch Me
8. Least favorite song
The Mirror-Blue Night- probably just because I listen to it the least.
9. Favorite quote/line
The lines leading up to The Song Of Purple Summer:
“Listen to what’s in the heart of a child
A song so big in one so small
Soon you will hear where beauty lies
You’ll hear and you’ll recall
The sadness, the doubt
All the loss, the grief
Will belong to some play from the past
As the child leads the way to a dream
A belief
A time of home through the land.”
10. Favorite TV performance
DWSA at Seth Meyers
11. Favorite cast members
I’m a big Andy Mientus fan, also anyone who knows me knows that I love Kathryn Gallagher so much. And Daniel Durant. (Every DWSA cast member holds a special place in my heart, I can’t choose a favorite.) Favorite OBC member is John Gallagher Jr.
12. Favorite cast member moment
Heaven Touch. Or every Periscope.
Do you write fan fiction?
No I’m boring lol
14. Do you make fan art?
No, but I love seeing the beautiful fan art this fandom makes! I feel like I should start. I’ll try to start.
15. Do you cosplay?
No, again I know I’m boring.
16. Don't do Sadness or Blue Wind?
Blue Wind
17. Word of your body or the Reprise?
Reprise
18. Touch Me or My Junk?
Touch Me
19. Explain the song of purple summer
Fun question! It’s a metaphor for change after hard times. Purple Summer is the inevitable good thing that comes after the inevitable bad thing. No matter how harsh and cold the Winter may be, Summer always follows. Just like how no matter how harsh and cold life may be, something good will follow. The play itself is about harsh times and horrible things happening to these children- and then the play just ends… only it doesn’t. The Song of Purple Summer is Spring Awakening’s finale because it tells the audience: “Hey, what you just watched was gut wrenching, but the story isn’t over. Change is coming, Summer is coming. You won’t be here to see it, but it’s happening.”
Thanks again @winter-asleepening for making this! Much love to all my Spring Awakening fam 🤟🏻💜

can we talk about Spring Awakening real quick
The fact that Ilse opens “The Song of Purple Summer” is an incredibly important and meaningful detail that escaped me when I first listened to Spring Awakening.
Ilse is one of my favorite SA characters (and one of my favorite musical theatre characters in general), largely because she is 100% coded as the symbol of hope and escapism throughout the show…until we actually get a chance to meet her and let her breathe and let her talk and we realize that she traded one type of pain, one type of abuse for another. She’s subverted in this really clever way when we discover that she’s just another teenager, another human, and she’s hurting just like everyone else in the show.
Really, she’s almost as ‘broken’ as Moritz is, just in different ways.
And the fact that it’s not Wendla, not Martha, but Ilse, the symbol of hope whose humanity brutally shatters the illusion of “escape” for the rest of the young characters, the fact that she’s the one who gets to sing this gorgeous metaphor about carrying on and putting your pieces back together, that is beautiful.
I think the story has interesting parallels to the Spring Awakening sequel that never came to be, which is great!!!
My beloved Spring Awakening fam, and other theatre friends on here: What are your thoughts on Alice By Heart? I’m involved with my college’s production and want to hear some opinions on story, characters, themes, etc!
I liked the songs in high school, didn’t know the plot, but low key forgot about it so now I’ve been really delving into it lately.
Can we just take a moment to talk about how adorable and precious this little bean is? We must protect him at ALL costs!!!
Thank you @mrsm3w and everyone who got me to 25 reblogs!
