These people clearly had not seen the musical. They are like this happy musical about springtime is a great way to welcome the new season la la la flowers and birds. Then they go see the musical and are horrified. I like to think there was a writer that suggested it and was just dying laughing in the back somewhere.
@@kamwrites Yes, their point is that the people announcing the show clearly don’t understand that it’s a metaphor, they think the show is LITERALLY about spring
I sincerely hope that there weren't any people watching this like, "This is such a fun, cute musical about life! Let's take my kid to see it!" And then were promptly horrified.
Yes. Despite all the theatrical euphoria at the time, many people were horrified by it. It has no real story line, no resolution: just a bunch of kids jumping up and down and singing songs about sex and protesting about parents, teachers and even singing about suicide. Nudity and harsh language prevail. The lead is gay Jonathon Groff, whose claim to fame is he went right from high school into theater, eventually landing the lead in SPRING AWAKENING while highly trained artists struggle to get jobs in theater. How does this happen? Legitimate magazine critics were less than enthused about a relatively untrained juvenile landing such a lead. His television work was not received much better, claiming that as a supposed macho lover he came across as merely gay. And awards have become a joke. In an industry where they are now passed out like candy, they have become mere technicalities.
My parents took me b/c we didn't know what it was about. The person selling tickets just said "it has sign language and it's really good" so we bought tickets and it was SO AWKWARD OH MY GOD :(
aight couple things: 1) I know this was a long time ago but imma complain anyway 2) the producers clearly either didn't know the heavy themes throughout the show and that's it's not happy, spring flowers, what-a-great-way-to-kick-off-spring, or they did know and told them to lighten it up and only do some rock choruses 3) I can see why b/c people don't wanna be depressed 1st thing in the morning, but hey, it's a depressing show 4) The changing of the words was the worst thing in the world 5) Groff's lil SMIRK after he says "stuck" is amazing
when I first started watching this I thought "wait why aren't they signing??" even though I haven't seen the revival it's weird for me to not think of the show in sign language now because it makes so much sense for it to be in asl
I love how when they sing "Totally [Stuck], some of the ensemble members are even more intense than the cast who actually appears onstage during the show... if that makes sense :P
I just can't get over GROFFSAUCE CUTENESS!!!! Oh yeah of course the musical is great, for those who still haven't watch it (or read the book) please do. It has many life lessons, especially for teenagers👍👍👍👍👍
me too! I always get these chills during the "blah blah" part of Totally (well in this case) stuck. haha I love the face that jonathan has after he says "there's a moment you know you're stuck"
Emma Hunton is the one in the full green dreess, she replaced Lauren Pritchard as Ilse! The gray-green dress girl is Eryn Murman (Dirty Blonde), she replaced Jennifer Damiano in the Ensemble and also understudied Wendla (Lea), Ilse, Anna, Martha, and Thea. She was also the Dance Captain.
She was Ilse when the show closed, even, yes, though she wasn't the original. This was not long after she was cast, if I recall. Her name is Emma Hunton.
Yeah it's Jenna Ushkowitz who plays Tina of course. It's pretty cool they did this together and now they're on Glee together. This is an awesome performance besides the "You're "Stuck"" lol
Eryn wore a Red Dress when she goes on for Anna. She originally came into the cast replacing Phoebe while she was filming a movie. When Phoebe returned, she became an Ensemble Member in Jennifer Damiano's Chair, Understudied all the girls, and the show's Dance Captain
WHOA. I was watching Glee (Prom Queen)....well, not really watching, it was on in the background, and I re-watched this...and when Jon started singing, he also had a scene on the TV. Groffception.
I remember people taking their kids to see Cabaret in the theater "because it had Judy Garland's daughter in it and it was a musical" with no idea how dark and adult were its themes. Spring Awakening was written in the late 1800s with themes that ring through the decades but it isn't for anyone not open to listen to what it was saying about the generation gap and how children view their parents not giving them the information they need to make good decisions. I consider this one of the best theater experiences of the decade, even if the songs are such that you don't leave the theater humming the tunes like we could do in the 50's. The cast was wonderful, so many went on to have amazing careers on stage, screen, and TV. If you dont like the subject matter don't go. It's as simple as that. One more seat available for someone who needs to see it and learn from it.
It is Alexandra Socha in that yellow dress. I actually just worked on a Pilot with her!! She's so nice!! The Yellow Dress she's wearing, she reminds me of Tina Majorino when she played Alice in that 1999 TV Movie adaptation of Alice in Wonderland!
I saw the original cast of Spring Awakening on Broadway. I had NO idea that Jenna from Glee was part of that cast until I saw this video? My mind is blown.
Socha is amazing. In her ensemble costume, she reminds me of Tina Majorino when she played Alice in that 1999 TV Version of Alice in Wonderland. I saw Alexandra perform in her Ensemble track. Lea and Jon were still in and I sat on the stage. Plus Eryn went on for Lauren
I'm officially in love with Emma Hunton. Her voice on Broadway is even better than it is here, if that's possible. She looks more like the ideal of beauty in the 19th century than Lauren Pritchard did (although I love Lauren's voice too, she just didn't have Emma's acting chops).
Ve la versión argentina!!, está en UA-cam, se llama “Despertar de Primavera”. Llegué 6 años dsps ups, pero la versión argentina es tipo pro-shot, muy buena calidad y le hace mucha justicia a versiones como las de Broadway o el national tour♥️ tmbn soy de chile k c0insidensia JSJSJ
Spring Awakening: School Edition
The hatred in his face when he says "stuck" gives me life
Yesssss
GAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
Groff's smirk when he says ".....you're stuck"
He knows how wrong it sounds.
XD
the pain
Kiss your sorry life goodbye
He’s so sexy.

+Samantha B You've obviously never heard of the birds and the bees, huh? ;) What the heck do you think Spring represents???
kamwrites Have you seen this musical? It isn't happy.
@@kamwrites
Yes, their point is that the people announcing the show clearly don’t understand that it’s a metaphor, they think the show is LITERALLY about spring
GROFFSAUCE'S FACE AT THE BEGINNING WHEN HE SAID "YOURE STUCK" HE WAS TOTALLY THINKING WHAT EVERYONE ELSE WAS-- wtf even is the censor on here
No kidding... it just hurts.
At least it isn't like it was in Rise...."There's a moment you know....you're messed up....You can kiss your sorry butt goodbye"
@@jellyfishyishy that’s true-
I sincerely hope that there weren't any people watching this like, "This is such a fun, cute musical about life! Let's take my kid to see it!" And then were promptly horrified.
T L I just CHOKED on my coffee reading that.. I forgot that some people didn't know what this show was about
NaTavia Carter I kinda half hope that this actually happened

@@williamoverly1617 whoa. Who hurt you?
@@williamoverly1617 Anger issues?
Groff's smile after "stuck" has murder written all over it
Can you imagine if a parent brought theirs kids to this show thinking it is for the family? 😆
My parents took me b/c we didn't know what it was about. The person selling tickets just said "it has sign language and it's really good" so we bought tickets and it was SO AWKWARD OH MY GOD :(
My friend's parents took their six year old to see Book of Mormon. That led to some interesting conversations.
one of my friends actually did this. she took her 10 yesr old to see the show and had to answer a lot of questions after
You can tell by the picture it’s not family lol it’s literally John laying on Lea😅
@@abigailmeyer8519 I NEED THAT STORY TIME LMFAO
When Jon Groff is singing you can tell that Lea is just so excited to watch him hahaha
love that knowing grin after that first "you're stuck." too funny. totally STUCK.
aight couple things:
1) I know this was a long time ago but imma complain anyway
2) the producers clearly either didn't know the heavy themes throughout the show and that's it's not happy, spring flowers, what-a-great-way-to-kick-off-spring, or they did know and told them to lighten it up and only do some rock choruses

Omg, is that Jenna?? I didn't know she was in Spring Awakening too!! that's awesome
she understudied for a few roles!
How that news lady sang "blah blah blah blah blah blah blah" tho
George Dalton I laughed but also cringed when she did that
The clean versions of these songs make me laugh so hard
TOTALLY STUCK YOU CAN KISS YOUR SORRY LIFE GOODBYE
I can't😂😂😂😂😂
Kidzbop broadway
Elina Marie I
@@erin.8403 lol yes
Hahaha!! I love Jonathan's smirk when he said, "stuck." He looked like he was about to laugh! : )
I was singing along with jonathan for a first few seconds, then it was, "wait, what did he just say? stuck?" awww.
i am so utterly depressed i never got to see the original cast they set such a high standard for the others...there were so amazing...: (
when I first started watching this I thought "wait why aren't they signing??" even though I haven't seen the revival it's weird for me to not think of the show in sign language now because it makes so much sense for it to be in asl
U know the obsession is unhealthy when u know the exact spot in totally "stuck" where everyone's gonna break out of line and go crazy
Spring Awakening Medley: But every time they do a new number it gets faster. Oh wait...^^^
Omg loving that censorship 😂😂😂 oh god that was hilarious
I love how they included the swings
All of them were trying not to bust out laughing. It's to funny 😂😂
"There's a moment you know...your STUCK.." Haha you gotta love daytime tv.
I love Jon and Lea in all the clips from Spring Awakening I've seen on youtube!
I love how when they sing "Totally [Stuck], some of the ensemble members are even more intense than the cast who actually appears onstage during the show... if that makes sense :P
One thing I love about this cast is their angst and energy! It's SO INTENSE!
THE CAST TRYING NOT TO LAUGH WHEN GROFF SAYS "you're stuck" IS KILLING ME😭✋
Dearest People,
They are saying "stuck" and "life" because children watch GMA.
Dearest Jasmyn,
We know, we just believe that it sounds dumb
Jazmyn Bloomfield-Nishimura but they could of used a different song that they didn’t have to censor
And Then There Were None just isn't right for me without John Gallagher Jr/
3:23 Skylar Astin's head bop gives me life
I just can't get over GROFFSAUCE CUTENESS!!!! Oh yeah of course the musical is great, for those who still haven't watch it (or read the book) please do. It has many life lessons, especially for teenagers👍👍👍👍👍
I KNEW i recognised rachael and jesse from SOMEWHERE omg it was bugging me so much haha x
The cast of Glee lol
okay but that performance of And Then There Were None...THAT WAS AMAZING
the way John sings "heard that before"
wOwZa
me too! I always get these chills during the "blah blah" part of Totally (well in this case) stuck.
haha I love the face that jonathan has after he says "there's a moment you know you're stuck"

awww jenna, remy, jonathan and lea! so adorable
Jonathan Groff's face after he says 'stuck' - priceless :)
by the way, they sound amazing!
Ah yes, my favorite song from Spring Awakening, Totally Stuck😀👍
I just love how Tina from glee is in this 🫶🏽
it's kinda cute and amusing, the different ways they've edited around the obscenities and NC-17 content in the lyrics, here and in other performances
There's a moment you know you're.... Stuck. Yeah it doesn't quite work the same. Hahaha
Yay i love his little smile for the fans its like hes saying: 'sorry guys i gotta!'
It is 4:00 AM rn and I'm trying not to make noise and wake up my family while dying laughing at the censorship in Totally "Stuck"
She was Ilse when the show closed, even, yes, though she wasn't the original. This was not long after she was cast, if I recall. Her name is Emma Hunton.
Jon is having SOOOO much fun!
This gave me so much joy and life! Amazing medley of the show!
that look between jon and lea at 3:31 ! i love their friendship
everytime i see the "blah"s i get chills. its crazyyy
" Stuck" & "life" 😂😂😂
I especially find it funny that how during totally "stuck" they all look INCREDIBLY happy
The censoring is hilarious. I laughed so hard.
that female conductor is so energetic... i don't feel Mama who bore me would be complete without showing her
Yeah it's Jenna Ushkowitz who plays Tina of course. It's pretty cool they did this together and now they're on Glee together.
This is an awesome performance besides the "You're "Stuck"" lol
i love jonathan's face when he says "stuck" xD
Kidzbop
And Then There Were None was awesome here! That song doesn't get enough attention.
This Mama Who Bore Me is really good.
Bryan's voice ROCKS in this. even at 8:51 in the morning this cast is incredible.
Eryn wore a Red Dress when she goes on for Anna. She originally came into the cast replacing Phoebe while she was filming a movie. When Phoebe returned, she became an Ensemble Member in Jennifer Damiano's Chair, Understudied all the girls, and the show's Dance Captain
Lol, that little smirk jon does when he says 'stuck'
ooOoO I didn't Jenna was in Spring Awakening!
know*
She was an understudy till some left
ohh i love jonothans smile at 3:19! :)
It is Tina! (Jenna Ushkowitz)
So, I wasn't just seeing things. Hehe.
It's funny how much Lea stands out, now that I see her on TV every week.
WHOA.
I was watching Glee (Prom Queen)....well, not really watching, it was on in the background, and I re-watched this...and when Jon started singing, he also had a scene on the TV. Groffception.
this is the most cursed spring awakening performance ever and i love it so much
gahhh i love them! you can see gerard btw
hehe blake makes me smile also :]
thanks for this upload.. the quality is much better than the others
@clareybunters i love how now Jenna and Lea or both in Glee :) love the show loved spring awakening.
i couldn't agree more
okay i knew lea and jon were in spring awakening but is that tina from glee too???
yes
it doesn't matter whether it's on stage, on a cd, or on good morning america... the ending of totally fucked gives me chills EVERY time.
Lea, Jenna, & Jon.

When Jonathan started singing was like he couldn't believe what he was going to say. Hahaha, he wanted to laugh.
I was laughing so hard when the lady said "Isn't that so refreshing?". I wonder if she knew that was the sex-scene song.
OMG! I didn't know Jenna was on SA too! Tht's so cool!
when he went "...youre stuck" i felt that
i had to pause the video to stop laughing lmao
Not sure why they showed that person at 1:45 but it made my day. She was probably giving direction, but hey she was rocking it for all it was worth
Yes! it is!
I saw the original cast of Spring Awakening on Broadway. I had NO idea that Jenna from Glee was part of that cast until I saw this video? My mind is blown.
Jenna was an extra thrown in female swing in the show. She understudied all the girls with the exception of Lea's Wendla.
Matt Doyle!Hanschen is the single greatest thing I have ever seen.
This was just a few days before Groffles' 23rd bday. He really did stop just short of a full-on LOL and eye roll when he sang "stuck"!
the censorship in this makes me uncomfortable
I love her twirls too. I love when she does them as Wendla. Plus Alexandra is returning to Broadway this fall.
Two memebers of the Glee cast in there!!! REPRESENT. SA!!
Blake is great !!! I haven't seen anything from him yet. I like him a lot.
Socha is amazing. In her ensemble costume, she reminds me of Tina Majorino when she played Alice in that 1999 TV Version of Alice in Wonderland. I saw Alexandra perform in her Ensemble track. Lea and Jon were still in and I sat on the stage. Plus Eryn went on for Lauren
I go crazy too. I just love Eryn Murman's angry dirty look during the blahs.
lol the cencoring is HILARIOUS!!!
3:13 oh no no no, Groff please, no.
I'm officially in love with Emma Hunton. Her voice on Broadway is even better than it is here, if that's possible. She looks more like the ideal of beauty in the 19th century than Lauren Pritchard did (although I love Lauren's voice too, she just didn't have Emma's acting chops).
Aww, all the girls and little tiny Gerard. haha.
seriously there's not a DVD with the Original Cast?????
I'm from Chile, and I've only watched it it on youtube, shaky and poor quality :(
There is, but only available at the NY public library...
Sascha Is my name yes I heard about that, how exactly is comeone able to got there and see it?
if im correct you have to have a specific reason that you need to watch it and it cant just be for entertainment
Queen Fia you can also only watch that musical once in your lifetime and there are some pretty strict rules
