great book, great play, great msuic

it is a recommended book. it is a great musical and the text is just perfectly written for songs and scenes.

Spring Awakening Book

Excellent book. EXACTLY line for line from the musical. I highly suggest reading "Spring's Awakening" along with this. It is the original version of this play that the musical is based off of.

Great!

This is worth it if you are a Spring Awakening fan. I saw it on Broadway a month ago and absolutely fell in love with it.

Love It!

I couldn't put it down when I first recieved it. Spring Awakening, is an amazing adapation of Wedekind's, Spring's Awakening first written in 1899. I own the original by Wedekind, and really appreciated how Steven Sater was able to maintain the integrity of the original while adapting it to a new libretto. When I read the lyrics of the songs in context to the story, I am nothin short of amazed. My recommendation is to read the script, and utilize the soundtrack at the appropriate times. It really enhances the experience. This book and play alone is magnificent, but coupled with the music of Duncan Shiek it is a masterpiece.

Great Musical

It's a great product for those people like myself who live a while away from New York City and don't have the time or money to get up there anytime soon. There is also a few sketches of the characters' costumes & a really interesting introduction by Stephen about the scenes he added & took off from the original play. All in all a good buy.
