Spring Awakening

Drove into work today listening to Spring Awakening, a musical which to quote wikipedia portrays "masturbation, abortion, homosexuality, rape, child abuse and suicide". Now I know that sounds a bit negative (it's based on a german play from 1891), but it's really a fantastic musical. I'm very sad that it's not showing in Australia! I believe they are making a movie of it, but movie's of musicals are rarely as good as the stage production. Anyway, to give you all a taste of it, here is a medley of some of the songs as performed at the Tony Awards (some of the lyrics were censured for it *sigh*)
