As you may have noticed, I tend not to update this page as much. Generally I leave it for important and big events. For the rest of the stuff, I have been micro blogging using Twinkle, a Twitter App for the iPhone. You can follow my twitter feed here or under the child links of my About page.
I got word today that I passed my EnCE certification. Don’t know what that is? Go here.
Tonight was the next show in our Broadway series season tickets, “Spring Awakening”. To quote the playbill:
Based on a very dark and controversial 1891 German play by Frank Wedekind, the musical explores teenage sexual desire and the consequences of living in a repressive society.”
The musical retained the turn of the century setting with a small twist. During the song sequences much of the lyrics stepped out in present day. It is one of the raciest musicals I have ever seen. It portrays teenage love, teen pregnancy, teen suicide, and a lot of other things that are almost as true today as they were in the turn of the century. As a parental side note, there are two scenes of brief nudity during the performance and a boat load of explicit lyrics (like the sing titled “Totally F*****D”).
I give this musical two thumbs way up. Go see this show!
