Spring Awakening/Funny

• The part in Latin class near the start when Moritz is sleeping when the teacher asks him a question, then later proceeds to sing the completely different in tone song "The Bitch of Living."
• Moritz trying to learn some of Melchior's knowledge, and becoming increasingly flustered as he does. In the middle of "Touch Me", Melchior's mother assumes Moritz to be so flustered because he has read Faust; as in, upsetting fairytales.
• When Hanschen offers to walk home with Ernst.
• Hanschen's pursuit of Ernst, the "pussycat" analogy.
• Martha being the odd female teenager out and preferring "that sad, soulful sleepy head Moritz Stiefel" to the rebellious Melchior, much to the distaste of her friends.
• When Wendla puts her head in her mother's lap and her mother throws her apron over Wendla's face.
• Have you prayed tonight... Desdemona? Particularly in the OBC, where Hanschen's deep-ass voice is much too hilarious for the situation.
• Moritz when he asks Melchior why he has such *ahem* dreams.
• "Why am I haunted by the legs of a woman? By the deepening conviction some dark part of my destiny may lie there between them!"
  • His follow up about the sex-ed essay he asks Melchior to write him: "If you like you can add some illustrations in the margin."
  • Following his reading of the essay he loses sleep and laments "Last night I prayed like Christ in Gethsemane: Please, God, give me consumption and take these sticky dreams away from me!"
  • Not in the real production. But this Easter Bonnet performance shows why Grease and Spring Awakening, two teen-angst musicals, should stay apart.
