wake up.

if you live in chicago and you have the means (read: money), go see spring awakening, which opens downtown on tuesday. i saw it in new york last summer and it was a completely amazing show. it's about the sexual awakening of a group of young german kids in the 1890s and the trouble their society's imposed ignorance gets them into.

i'm fond of small, intimate store-front theatre, you know, the kind that are pretty hard up for money these days.

but seeing spring awakening reminded me,

oh big budgets are kind of nice, that was really spectacular.

so yeah,

i won't be seeing it when it comes to chicago

unless some KIND, GIVING, SUGARED-MANGO-SWEET person would like to give me a ticket.

however,

you should go see spring awakening.
