For the sake of nostalgia, today's offering takes a wistful look back at Spring Awakening. Despite a short-lived run at the Novello Theatre in the West End, this show about adolescent angst and sexual awakening based on Frank Wedekind's nineteenth-century play remains one of the most exciting examples of new musical theatre writing in recent years. My selected video is just one of the many entertaining cast blogs recording the production's highs and lows, which can all still be found on the show's YouTube channel. This is Chris Barton's hilarious performance as Adult Woman, although admittedly the joke will be slightly lost on those not familiar with Spring Awakening. Any fans of Chris Barton can currently see him in The Sound of Music tour as Rolf.
