Trivia
When asked during an interview in 2010 about her appearing topless on stage in front of hundreds of people for the musical, Lea Michele said, "I just think it was done so tastefully. It wasn't until I came back to see the show [once I'd left] that I was like, 'Oh my God, I did that every single night.'"

Reunions are touching

When I first heard the soundtrack to Spring Awakening, I was blown away (even more so when I finally found a decent video of the play). I really connected with the themes and the characters of the show so when I heard that a documentary about the show was coming out, I had to watch it. It did not disappoint.

This documentary is very heartwarming. It feels like you're seeing old friends reuniting after years apart. You get insight into what the show meant to the cast and the minds behind the musical and how it personally impacted them. The documentary also has some "making of" elements regarding the grind that the cast and production team had to go through to make Spring Awakening possible. It comes through the documentary that the cast and crew cared about the musical and each other.

I do have to note, though, that this documentary is best appreciated by those who love Spring Awakening. It's more of a companion piece to the show than a stand-alone work, but it adds so much context to the show that makes me love Spring Awakening even more. If you have the time, I urge you to find a recording of Spring Awakening (there are some on Youtube) and then watch this documentary.
