It’s taken a while for me to post about the last ever show of Spring Awakening in the UK. I’d like to say that my emotions were too raw to contemplate writing about the end of such a fine and under-rated show - but I can’t though as I have just been lazy.

What I did do though, which show’s a bit of a commitment for the cause was smuggle in the old mini video camera into the last ever show and film both the finale song Song of Purple Summer and the encore song Totally Fucked.

I really can’t believe the feedback I’ve had from these videos - just look at the number of views, ratings and comments. I know it was naughty to do, but fuck it, it was worth it.

Totally Fucked Encore

The show was absolutely amazing. Having seen it was a privalige. It’s like making a really funny, talented friend one day and then someone telling you they only have a month to live. You’re sad, but then you cherish the moments you have.

In the last month of Spring Awakening’s life I saw it three times - once from stage seats. I enjoyed every performance.

I tweeted with CMW at Spring Awakening and they said that some of the set was going to Korea, I think for a show there. I’m glad Spring Awakening is still going somewhere and I hope to go and see it somewhere else in the World (Korea/Japan/USA) soon.

It won’t be the same though.
