Theater Reviews + Features | Pittsburgh City Paper: At first, Spring Awakening looks like a silly idea: Take a 1906 German stage play about promiscuous teens, add some original pop songs, and re-dub it a "rock musical." Keep the costumes and the cringe-worthy English translation, but allow for modern lyrics, with song titles like "The Bitch of Living" and "Totally Fucked." The result should be arty and weird, like an episode of Glee produced by Werner Herzog.
