So I have the soundtrack to Spring Awakenining and listen to it all the time. I read in the Spring Awakening book In The Flesh that the songs do not push the plot but are thoughts of the charcter singing it. I think that is such a fresh approach to a musical because times have changed and people are tired of the same thing over again (the story and plot have changed but the music has not!). I am the Asst. Stage Manager for my schools production of Oliver! and the thing bothers me the most about the show (besides how lame it is) is the music it does nothing for the plot who the hell cares that guys name is Bill Sykes and we are going to run and hide when we see him... no no no!!! O well rant done!
