The failure of Spring Awakening to find its London / UK audience is a tragedy. In years to come, we will look back on this show as ground-breaking in the same way as we look at Billy Elliott, Jerry Springer- The Opera and West Side Story. I paid my fourth and last visit to see it on Tuesday 26th, though I would have loved to be at the last night as I was the first. It’s an extraordinary show and amongst the achievements of its short life will be the launch of a significant number of careers from amongst the talened young cast, many of whom are making their stage debut.
