That was her Broadway Debut. She started off in the Ensemble and understudied all the Female teen roles with the exception for Lea as Wendla. She was too young (15) at the time and the role of Wendla requires the nude scene at the end of Act I and beginning of Act II. Jenn left Spring Awakening in December 2007 (2 weeks after JGJ left) to start rehearsals for Next to Normal's pre Broadway tryout at Second Stage

It’s just you and me. Child, you’re a beauty. “God, it’s good - the lovin’ - ain’t it good tonight? You ain’t seen nothing yet - gonna teach you right. It’s just you and me Child you’re a beauty.” ILSE I don’t scream, though I know it’s wrong I just play along I lie there and breathe Lie there and breathe I wanna be strong I want the world to find out That you’re dreamin’ on me Me and my “beauty” Me and my “beauty” BOTH You say all you want is just a kiss goodnight And then you hold me and you whisper, “Child, the Lord won’t mind.

She was 15! She was the understudy for all of the girls (except Wendla due to being too young)... which is crazy and impressive.

In most shows I usually prefer when the original actors are singing, but cmon this is fucking incredible! Go baby Jenn!
Every song in Spring Awakening gives me chills.
Wow, this performance gave me chills. What a talented understudy! Jennifer Damiano was fantastic here!
Jennifer is such a charm, she needs to return to broadway
Do u have any tips for singing this I'm auditioning with it but it's so powerful idk if I can do it well
Thank god this is the day the boot was recorded!
jenn is the most perfect person that exists in the world ever
She auditioned to be a swing for the Broadway production.
Lilli and Jenn are my absolute favorite Martha's!
There is a part I can’t tell
About the dark I know well
You say, “Time for bed now child,”
Mom just smiles that smile
Just like she never saw me
Just like she never saw me
So I leave, wanting just to hide
Knowing deep inside
You are coming to me
You are coming to me
You say all you want is just a kiss goodnight
And then you hold me and you whisper,
“Child, the Lord won’t mind.
It’s just you and me.
Child, you’re a beauty.
“God, it’s good - the lovin’ - ain’t it good tonight?
You ain’t seen nothing yet - gonna teach you right.
It’s just you and me
Child you’re a beauty.”
ILSE
I don’t scream, though I know it’s wrong
I just play along
I lie there and breathe
Lie there and breathe
I wanna be strong
I want the world to find out
That you’re dreamin’ on me
Me and my “beauty”
Me and my “beauty”
BOTH
You say all you want is just a kiss goodnight
And then you hold me and you whisper,
“Child, the Lord won’t mind.
It’s just you and me.
Child, you’re a beauty.
“God, it’s good - the lovin’ - ain’t it good tonight?
You ain’t seen nothing yet - gonna teach you right.
It’s just you and me
Child you’re a beauty.”

Holy shit. Jen knocked it out of the park
Gorgeous.
Damn, Jenn. Get it girl.
Jen is so amazing!

All credit goes to Wendla Bergman
I wish she was the original Martha. I love her voice so much
Martha,not Wendla!!!
Flavia Scaramouche Martha is one of my dream roles because it would really push me and challenge me as a actor!!
Jennifer has an awesome voice, but she was quite unfriendly after a Next to Normal show. Perhaps she was just having a bad day.
