Fantasy Spring Awakening
Apr. 18th, 2009 09:54 pmSo, GTC, my little online project, is doing SA again. And I'm overhauling the script as there are many things I wasn't pleased with last time we did it.

msmoocow and I were talking about SA off-Broadway tonight -- and how there are some really great things (ANNA'S REPRISE ANYONE?) that we wish hadn't been cut. Previously I'd been talking to someone else from the GTC who said that we should bring back There Once Was A Pirate in our version.
Which leads to the reality that, you know, we have no obligation to follow the show as it was on Broadway. We can do whatever the hell we want with it.
If you could reconstruct Spring Awakening -- bring back cut songs, cut certain songs, etc -- how would YOU change it? What do you think GTC should do with it -- are there things you think we could change or bring back to make it more entertaining for a text-only online audience?
Also, right now it's a 9 actor show (Melchior, Wendla, Moritz, Ilse, Hanschen, Ernst, Martha, Adult Men, Adult Women) and I don't want to add in a 10th actor but I'd really like to bring back Thea (in the script as it was, Wendla took most of her lines), so if anyone wants to help me brainstorm ways to do that that'd be great. (Basically, we have 9 people available throughout the show -- they don't necessarily need to be playing the same character at all times, but they can't (technically they can, but I'm not willing to write the script that way) play more than one character at once, and it helps if they have a decent chunk of time to switch characters if necessary)
