Spring Awakening <3. Part 1.

So, I realize that I write about Spring Awakening a lot and people may not know what it is. Therefore, I am going to write about it and through in some pictures from it as well. Because I'm a loser and that's how I roll. There's probably going to be a ton of spoiler so if you don't want to be spoiled than you should probably stop reading.

The play starts off with Wendla, the main girl character, standing on a chair. This leads to the song "Mama Who Bore Me", she is unsure of her body and therefore is using her hands to explore it. After the song is over her mother comes in telling her that the stork has brought her sister another baby. Wendla, who is [i believe] 14 tells her mother that she can not still believe in the stork and this leads to her asking her mom where babies come from. Needles to say her mother is taken aback and at first refuses to tell Wendla where they come from. After some convincing her mother tells her that in order to conceive a child she must love her husband and only her husband with her whole heart. And that's how babies are made. Wendla exclaims, "Mama!" which leads into "Mama Who Bore Me(Reprise)" this time with all the other girl characters joining in.

Than we are in a classroom where the boys of Spring Awakening are reciting Latin. The teacher calls on all of them but when he calls on Moritz he is asleep so when the teacher wakes him up he messes up the words of Latin he is supposed to be saying for the teacher. Melchior, Moritz's friend stands up and defends him after the teacher begins to yell at Moritz. The teacher turns on Melchior than which leads to the song, "All That's Known". The teacher leaves and Moritz thanks Melchior and than proceeds to tell him about the 'nightmare' he had had. Melchior explains that the other boys such as Otto and Georg have had the same kind of dream as well and that it was completely alright but Moritz is so terrified about what is happening to his body. The teacher walks back in and catches the boys talking, he grabs Moritz by the ear and yells at him which leads to the song, "The Bitch of a Living". All the other boys leave and Melchior ask Moritz if he wants him to tell him about sex with a woman and Moritz tells him to write it down.

All the girls come out and are talking about what they are wearing to their friends wedding and Wendla states that she can not go to it because of the man her friend is marrying. Than the girls begin to talk about their crushes and who they hope to marry. This leads to the song "My Junk" the light fades on the girls and high light on Hanschen who is masturbating to a picture of Desdemona as Othello is getting ready to murder her, than the light fades on him and lights up on Georg who is having a piano lesson and is getting turned on by his piano teacher. The girls start to dance, Hanschen continues to masturbate, and Georg's piano teacher rips off her top and they start to dance with one another and this is all done while the are singing rest of the song. They all run off the stage and than we find Melchior in his room writing in his diary. His mother comes in and tells him that Moritz is there, Moritz runs in and exclaims that he was up all night reading the essay Melchi had wrote him. He says he is confused by it and ask how the woman must feel and Melchi tells him that he just puts himself in the woman's place and imagine what it must feel for her. This leads to "Touch Me". During the song all the other boys come out with copies of Melchi's letter and lays down and reads them. Than the girls come out as well and they follow one another in a line singing rest of the song.




I will write more later!

my foot really itches.
no really it does, but that is not the point of the blog. so lets throw in a random picture eh? alright lets do this.

oh! there was a point to this blog and now i completely remember! so i called my admission adviser yesterday to find out about the transcripts that were sent to her, i was expecting maybe you know five credit hours to transfer over but when i called she told me that 17 credit hours transfered!! and that's saving me $8,500 dollars this semester. the finical aid adviser is going to call me monday and let me know if my financial aid is going to cover all the expenses now and if they do than well i'm out of ohio in a month! so im keeping my fingers crossed that this will all work out. im getting so pumped now. haha.

also, i read somewhere that lucas wells auditioned for spring awakening online, he sent in his video on the website and what not and now [well he's been there for a while] is on with the spring awakening cast. so this gives me hope on sending in my audition via the inter webs. i keep saying im going to do it but knowing me i will NEVER get around to it because thats how i roll. haha.

blah.blah. i got kicked out of my house a few days ago but now im back. i can stay here as long as i go talk to someone or whatever. and my mom is turning the internet off but i can check all the websites and stuff at the library and maybe it will be good for me not to have a steady source of the internet. whatevs man. because hopefully i will be gone soon anyways :)

well i think this covers it for now. im off to bed.

<333.

ohh man;;

kicked out of the house. slept on brittany's basement floor last night and now im super siiick. and when im sick i am not happy at all.

17 credit hours transfered to AIP, they're going to call me monday and let me know if all my financial aid will cover the price now.

i think this covers it for now.

AMAZING. :)

Today was amazing. There is no other words to describe it. Its a moment that you had to be there for. But anywho I'm going to be a massive fan girl and write about it and throw in some pictures as a I go. Note the picture to the left. That's Blake Bashoff. He's the lead in Spring Awakening, Moritz. He also played Karl on Lost. :) But back to today.

So, we drove to Pittsburgh to see Spring Awakening and the really cool thing is that they have seats on stage that you can sit in and the actors literally sit with you when they are not on the stage performing. So we bought three of those tickets, we has an ensemble member sitting in the chair next to us, than one of the cast members stood next to us, we had two of them behind, one in front of us, and than across the aisle for us. So needless to say we were surrounded by cast and ensemble members a like. I think the easiest thing for me to do is write this in order based off of the songs that stood out to me. So this might be boring if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Mama Who Bore Me/Mama Who Bore Me (Reprise): Christy's voice is amazing and her facial expressions are amazing. And the scene about the stork with her mom was great. I know nothing too specific but I thought it was by far one of the stand out songs. The reprise was...dare I say it? Fierce. Those girls rock so much. BUT I CAN NOT STAND GABBY! And it's not just in this scene, I just HATE how she portrays Anna and she sucks at singing but thats besides the point. Lets move on.

All Thats Known: I have never been a fan of Kyle but his voice was just amazing in this number, considering he was out most of the week. His voice has that right amount of edge and it blew me away. Usually his Melchior is cocky but today he seemed more mellow, which could be due to the fact he was taking it easy since he has been sick.

Bitch Of A Living: OHMYGOSH! This is one of my favorite songs hands down but sitting on stage is something crazy. Anthony has some intense eye contact, he was starring down audience members and getting right in our faces singing to us. And those moves all the boys do are so much cooler up close. And when the stomp on the floor you could feel it in our seats. I didn't think it could get better than this but oh it did. Haha.


(note the picture to the right. this is matt singledecker aka Shishi. He plays Georg! Amazing voice, we had his harmonies right in our ears at one point and it was heavenly. and he was super sweet at the stagedoor.)


My Junk: One of the more funnier scenes and so well done. Matt trying to seduce his piano teacher was hilarious because we were right there during the scene. He was "motor boating" in her corset. xD And Andy is just wonderful during his...well his masturbation part of the song. Matt's voice is heavenly and Andy plays Hanschen as such a creeper but Andy's voice is very nice as well. The girls were good in this scene, I loved Kiminko's "He's such a radical!" line. And again Gabby should not be allowed to sing.

Touch Me: So. So. So. Good. Words cant describe this song, its so pretty and the boys solo are gorgeous. Ben and Matt killed their solos, I could watch a two hour play of just this song. Blake's and Kyle's chemistry was good and Blake's "penis and vagina" comment got tons of laughs. Beautiful, thats all I have got to say.

Dark I Know Well: Another one of my favorites, though I was worried because Krystina was on for Steffi D who usually plays Ilse. So when this scene came, I was nervous for her. But as soon as she opened her mouth I was at ease. Krystina's voice was so good and haunting though she did get drowned out when Sarah sung with her.

Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind: Blake Bashoff is a rock star and it shows in this scene. I knew this was going to be heart wrenching and boy was I right. As soon as Blake said his "why did you frighten me? damn it" I lost it. The boy has legit tears in his eyes at this point. You could just feel the emotion pouring off of him. It broke my heart. Again Krystina got drowned out by Blake but thats not the point here. When Blake started rolling up the mic cord and saying his monologue I lose it. I mean when I saw this scene before yeah it was heart breaking but being on stage and seeing the tears rolling down his face just made it that more emotional and I was bawling like a baby. By the time he got to his "what will i tell the angels......" and "so darks" i was a complete mess. Which leads to the next heart wrenching scene.

(note the picture to the left. thats me and anthony lee medina. the one who was starring us down during bitch of a living. haha. he was great and his stare is so intense and his harmonies in the closing song was great cause he was right in front of us.)


Left Behind: Again, Im not a fan of Kyle but I was sobbing during this song. Ugh. It felt like you were a part of that funeral and all of the cast members were legit crying as well. Sarah Hunt has tears running down her face as few as the other cast members. To see this much emotion from the cast added to what us, the audience was feeling. Again this has always been a sad scene to see from the house but seeing it from the stage seats adds so much emotion. And the Adult Man, my god, his face as Kyle approach him killed me. It twisted in such agony and I wanted to hug him or something. This was just heart breaking and I loved every minute of it.

Totally Fucked: LOVE. Haha. This got a lot of laughs. Their dancing is crazy and it was so awesome watching everyone's dance moves. Anthony did a back flip, Julie was climbing all over the stairs next to us. This is the one song that you have to see live to get the full effect.





So much more happened and it was just amazing. But I'm too lazy to write anything else. Haha.

I have so much love for Shishi and Anthony now.

Bohemian Like You

"I'm getting wise,

and i'm feeling so Bohemian like you,

It's you that I want so please,

just a casual, casual easy thing.

Is it? It is for me.And I like you."

-The Dandy Warhols, 'Bohemian Like You'

Lets ignore all the stress of trying to figure out all this college stuff and focus on the good things. Okay? Okay. So, in like 3 days Im going to see Spring Awakening in Pittsburgh!!! And we got stage seats. Maaan, Im so pumped for this. Haha. Im hoping theres an understudy for Kyle though because Im not a big fan of him. I would love, LOVE to see Perry!Melchi. I know Kyle has been out the last few days because hes sick and we're going to see it the last that its in Pittsburgh so I doubt that Kyle will be out the whole week. So we'll probably get stuck with Kyle as Melchior. But whaev man, whatev. Haha. And hopefully Blake wont have an understudy because I am dying to hear his harmonies right behind me during some of the songs. Man. I am a loser.

Okay. Enough with the Spring Awakening stuff. xD

Um. Today was another lame day. Didnt do much of anything, played the Sims2, read, and slept. I really need to find a job. We applied for another loan for AIP so lets see if we get it or not. I hope I get it because its basically our last shot at a loan and if I dont get it than Im totally fucked. Nuff said.

If everything fails with this college thing than my new plan is simple. I will work full time for a year and than I will move to New York City, well the East Village but its in New York City and the apartments in the East Village are so so cheap and its like a bohemian village, which I would fit perfect into. So thats pretty much my plan B. Haha.

Well, this is it for now.

<3.

Laaaazy.

Today was the most unproductive day of my life. What did I do? Well, I shall tell you what I did today. Lol. [man I feel so lame.] I woke up, finished the book I was reading, started a new book, slept, finished the book I started, and now Im on here. Yup. Thats what my day consisted of. And frankly I loved it. Its summer Im allowed to be lazy. Well at least thats what I keep telling myself.

I do need to find a job though. Badly.

So. Yeah. No exciting blog today from me. Haha.

6 Daaaays! Woo.

<3.

:D

So today, well technically yesterday was a fun day. Me && Sara went to the beach than afterwards we got some ice cream because well frankly thats how we roll, ya hear? It's officially summer break and I am pretty pumped for that but since I AM going to AIP I start July 13. Lame. So I have lets just say about a month left before I have to head down there for college. So Im trying to do as much as I can and hang out with as many people as possible before I leave. I mean Im excited to go away for college but at the same time its still a bit nerve wrecking but hey, thats life.

So yeah, I realized my last few entries have been...angsty? Haha. Sorry about that, I swear Im not crazy or emotionally unstable.

In about a week we get to go see Spring Awakening, Im so pumped for this. Haha. Hmm. I dunno what else to say in this so I guess this is it for now. I need to get back into the habit of blogging everyday or something because I have been slacking.

OH! If you have any book recommendations, tell me in comments, that would be very rad of you.
