My Junk Is You.

Went to check out the Houston touring performance of Spring Awakening at the Hobby Center last night, and wow!  was I ever awoken!  Fantastic!  Was blown away by the soundtrack (Duncan Sheik).

These kids were amazing. Great performances by many of the young cast members. The boys were my favorite. The choreography was stellar. The live band was superb.

Jesus, what can’t I say?  I want to go see it again. And probably will.  Totally bummed that I didn’t catch wind that you could purchase tickets to sit ON the stage. Yes, ON the stage.  Those aren’t cast members, those are $25 ticket holders. Effing A. I wanted to be there so bad. :-)  Apparently they are sold out for all future performances. Maybe I’ll check it out in another city.

Playing thought the 17th at the Hobby Center. I urge you to check it out.  I secondly urge you to invite me so I can see it again.

Big thanks to @mertastic + @deneyterrio + NetSquared for the tix!

Buy Your Tickets. Do it. Go Now. I’ll wait here.

p.s. i totally watched the drummer the whole time.  i’m a rock band-o-holic.

  • I’m totally bummed that I had to miss it. It sounds fantastic.

  • I’m going tonight! And sitting on the stage!!! Saw it in NYC 2 years ago and loved it, now this is going to be like a dream. So glad you loved it!

  • I totally agree. It was superb! Had a wonderful time :)

  • I too am totally bummed but it looks like you had a great time!

  • Thanks for coming, Monica! I really love this show too! It’s so powerful!

  • LOVED the show last night. The music was fantastic & the cast did a great job. I would love to see it again. Thanks for the tickets folks! Much appreciated. :)

  • I agree, it was awesome! A friend had seen it in NY and had given me the soundtrack so I was familiar with the songs, but seeing them in context, whole different level! Choreography was amazing too….

  • Agreed! The show was fantastic. We caught a Sunday matinée and had a great time. The music and performances were really outstanding. We used to live in closer proximity to NYC. We’re happy to have the opportunity to see some of the shows we’ve “missed” in New York, right here in Houston. Was also pleasantly surprised to discover later that Moritz was played by “Carl” from Lost.

Got anything to say? Go ahead and leave a comment!
