Blue Wind

[@bacteriophagee]

I love it when Moritz tugs on his blazer. He's amazing!

[@shenu728]

I am addicted to all things Spring Awakening. It is beyond my control right now.

[@jessecb]

wow, he is amazing! im so glad i got to see this at least on youtube! he is so original and doesn't make predictable choices. He also doesn't play it melo-dramatic, which is easy to do. It's sad cuz he seemed to be in the show for such little time or something...

[@don66776]

Absolutely. Why did they take that away for the Broadway performance. This is mezmerising in it's simplicty. Just brilliant. Even Lauren's other live versions didn't quite reproduce this beauty.

[@LeonardoToma]

it's so nice to see these Pre-Broadway performances and notice the changes that they have made through the time. moritz now moves and articulates a whole lot more during DDS. but in this video we can see John's legs stepping down just how it is right now (but with Ilse also doing it at the same time).

[@Sophieste163]

lauren's so beautiful... she's the best ilse, no doubt. and JGJ is amazing, of course :)

[@MmhmmYOsup]

Whenever I see this in NYC, I cry for the rest of the show!

[@TEXTUALactivity]

JGJ = Best Ever. The end.

[@DarknessHowls]

The best show on broadway now. Went to see it last December, was amazing...this scene was especially moving! :-D

[@arianavilani5968]

This never fails to make me cry 💓💓💔💔💔😧

[@gianinamorales8597]

This was 11 years ago... Holy crap.

[@SingingJesusFreak]

No matter how many times I watch this scene my breath always catches when the lights go out and i hear that chord signifying that he pulled the trigger...

[@ch3xed]

dude. AWESOME clip. it's SO near. like right in front.

[@Bmoz628]

omg i still cry every time i see this scene : ) its sooo good!!!

[@LeonardoToma]

One thing that I have noticed: Lauren was the only Ilse to be portrayed as a damaged character. This numb look in her eyes shows that she desperatly needs help, although she's very playful and happy to undercover this fact. The other actresses only brought up the happy and funny side of Ilse. I'm not defending Lauren only because she's part of the OBC, but I only saw the depth of the character on her performance...

[@Tolkien_gay]

John Gallagher Jr. Is the Best Moritz in the world... and Lauren has one of the sexiest sounding voices I've ever heard, along side with original Amneris from Aida (in "every story is a Love Story", Colbie Caillat and Sara Barielles. and there's more... but these women have such beautiful sounding voices it's really amazing... and it's not necessarily the quality of there singing abilties but the sound and how they use that sound.

[@broadwaymike92]

Lauren reminds me of Tammy Blanchard.

[@ILuvSpringAwakening2]

I just cried......

[@carly3592]

Yeah this is off Broadway. He didn't burn the paper on Broadway.

[@immortalangel08]

Holy Crap! NO wonder he won a Tony for this

[@agirlandhiscat]

@TEXTUALactivity No comparison! John Gallagher IS moritz.

[@grec001]

What's that paper he's burning? Is that the letter from Melchi's mom? Oh and does anyone know what Ilse says about "lying on the trash heap"? Cause I didn't hear the bit before.

[@laneynelson2346]

By the time you finally wake up, I'll be lying on some trash heap

[@notyouraveragething]

im kind of glad they cut out the part with him just burning the letter. although i like the idea it just drags this scene a little too long...

[@reneprom]

OOOOH music to my ears

[@ohjawillkommen]

Sorry, this is a tragic scene, and I like the part where JGJ burns the letter, but after I watched it I just imagined Blake Bashoff doing one of his overexaggerated sitcom reactions while shaking the paper and watching sparks fly from it. If you know what I'm saying, then it is a hilarious image. I love Bashoff though, it's just that he does that sometimes. On the topic of this video, I think that Lauren and JGJ are amazing.

[@TheKidWhoLived]

too true.

[@TheSilverphoenix88]

I love John Gallagher Jr and Lauren Pritchard as Moritz and Ilse. I've heard the other actors but they are not as good as John and no other actress can pull Blue Wind like Lauren, they just sound annoying, no offense.

[@Persephonie22]

At times I can't stand it when a cast members leaves from a fantastic show. Lauren will be missed =(. She will always be Ilse for me. But goodluck to her in whatever she's going to due next. =)~

[@MmhmmYOsup]

All I know is that some girl named Emily (I think) is replacing her. She was at the Pizza Party on Sunday with the cast. (I was not there, but my friend was, and I am jealous haha)

[@rorygilmo5]

This is totally off-Broadway!

[@ANTHONYRAPPISAGOD]

yessss yessss myspace vids look up em on myspace!!! ;D

[@filigold]

@prarafan727 which role did you get cast as then? Im doing this musical too.

[@Dancingfool721]

I was cry ing so bad i was like the loudest i felt so bad biggest i was making noises

[@Tolkien_gay]

Ilse says "you know. by the time you finally wake up I'll be lying on some trash heap."

[@MmhmmYOsup]

Awe, I cant believe Lauren's last night is SO SOON D:

[@loquaciousthe3RD]

[@kreskaqq]

Wooow it;s awesome. Who are they? @@"

[@ohwow6640]

John Gallagher Jr. and Lauren Pritchard

[@brianrod1]

[@brianrod1]

thank you

[@grec001]

Does anyone know what Ilse says about "lying on some trash heap?" She says something right before but I can't make it out.

[@tylercollins7297]

"You know, by the time you finally wake up, I'll be lying on some trash heap."

[@shogofo]

this was the off broadway run

[@wheresthechorus]

not even true emma hunton was the best ilse. you felt her pain to the bone. she was phenomenal.

[@xGossipxoGirlx]

[@DawnlessSkys]
