Project 365 Day 295: Spring Awakening

We took in our second musical at Stephen's auditorium this evening. Spring Awakening, which debuted on Broadway back in 2006, takes place in late nineteenth century Germany, but fortunately the musical is spoken and sung in English. We enjoyed the show, and the music had a nice contemporary feel. We decided the music was a cross between Rent and Rock of Ages, with a little bit of Cats sprinkled in.

Well, maybe Cats is taking it a little far, but overall it a nice change of pace from the last musical we saw, Legally Blonde. We have been enjoying the cultural enrichment opportunities in the Ames and Des Moines areas, and are looking forward to taking advantage of many more in the future.
