Tits & Ass & Wedekind

"The onstage seats at the Broadway hit Spring Awakening come in two types: the ass seats and the boob seats. For the bargain price of $31.25, two dozen lucky theatergoers each night get a unique view on not only the show itself, but also a serious gander (for those stage right) of actress Lea Michele's breasts, or a tasty gaze (for those stage left) of Jonathan Groff's rear end. Could this be why tickets for these seats aren't available until May?"

-Read on, as the Voice's Angela Ashman's spends a night with the ogglers on the bleachers.

For this and perhaps other reasons, it's clear from the piece that Spring Awakening ain't getting any less popular. And it's finding the youth audience.

yeah. youth audience: great. but to see tits and buns? that piece is depressing.

i liked that show (and liked it better downtown than on bway)-- but i can't imagine seeing it 14 times. what do people suppose is the draw for that level of fandom?

lack of competition/interest from other Broadway shows
