Brenda Walsh Will Be Teaching ‘Spring Awakening’
August 20, 2008
Sources have revealed that drama teacher Brenda Walsh will be working on a high school production of the Tony-winning musical Spring Awakening in the new 90210.
Zap2it.com reports that Shannen Doherty will portray a successful theatre actress-turned-director.
Executive producer Jeff Judah told Zap2it.com, “We’re doing Spring Awakening. It’s a great play, a great musical. We thought it would be a really cool thing to do a contemporary musical instead of doing Annie Get Your Gun or something that a lot of high schools do. So if we could do a contemporary musical and put that in the show, it’s sort of also talking about how the show has changed in the last 20 years.”
Based on the 1891 play by Frank Wedekind, Spring Awakening won eight 2007 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Spring Awakening features direction by Michael Mayer, choreography by Bill T. Jones, book and lyrics by Steven Sater and a score by Duncan Sheik.
I think it’s a great idea and a great sign that the show is going to be amazing!
Who do YOU think is going to be trying out for the play?
