THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING TO GRACE MY EYES AND EARS I LOVE THIS (Also, no joke, that "Totally Fucked" part is me and my friends on a daily basis)
I was having easily one of the worst days ever and getting to come home and watch a new one of your videos made me feel all the world better. You and, in the case of yesterday, Dr. Dan and honestly your whole crew always make me smile. Thank you to the moon and back 395 times!
Miss KRR that's a good question. The original German play that the musical was based off it is written specifically that Melchior rapes Wendla. And whenever the show was still in workshops and when they premiered it off-Broadway they stuck true to that original concept. But idk if they were worried about the controversy of a live rape scene to close off act 1 of a musical or something but whenever they moved the show to Broadway, they rewrote it to where there was more consent visible from Wendla.
Thank you! It's weird, I would (obviously) rather have the situation be more consensual, but for Broadway I feel like they maybe should have left it? I get that it could have been too racy, but...I don't know. Maybe for the integrity of the musical? But I'm not sure if I necessarily like the outcome of the keeping of the original, either. Hmmmm...anyway, thanks again!
Miss KRR no no. People are giving you false information. Even in the Broadway version it is 100% rape. They made it less violent but as it stood it was still 100% not consensual. Even in the Broadway versions, Wendla says no multiple times, she pushes Melchior off and he keeps prying and forcing himself on her until she stops fighting and yes it appears that her body reacted to him, but she still didn’t consent. Not to mention, the other more pressing detail that is like the most highlighted point of the show- Wendla doesn’t know what sex is. Melchior knows what sex is and he also knows that Wendla doesn’t know what it is he 100% takes advantage of her because he’s horny. That’s not to say he didn’t believe he loved her and it’s not to say she didn’t have Stockholm syndrome and whorship him, it’s to say he still raped her. At the end of the day, the most pressing point is that Wendla can’t consent to sex if she doesn’t know what sex is, so even if she hadn’t said no multiple times and even if Melchior hadn’t forced himself on her until she stopped fighting him off, she still wouldn’t have been able to consent. They were afraid the scene would be too controversial so they made it less violent, but to its core it will always be a rape scene.
This is the most accurate summary of Spring Awakening I have ever heard.
Still not as good the sex ed teacher from mean girls gave us where wendla had sex, got pregnant, and died.
"imma pull an Eliza Hamilton and carry on"😂😂😂😂😂
"Kind of like the dreams I have about Aaron tveit" THIS HAD ME DEAD
"GET IN LINE QUEEN" SAME 😂😂
"GET IN LINE QUEEN" best line
THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING TO GRACE MY EYES AND EARS I LOVE THIS (Also, no joke, that "Totally Fucked" part is me and my friends on a daily basis)
Greatest thing to watch at 12:19 am a week before my final exams (:
Hello Tyler and Tyce, I'm not familiar with Spring Awakening, but you both made me laugh none the less.
SPRING AWAKENING IS THE BEST THING TO EXIST EVER
This is wonderful, I love the slow destruction of my favorite show
I only had one head phone in so all I heard was the banjo music 😂😂
Angie Hamilton Same! Then I realized that the voices are coming from the left side of my earbuds. 😂
"Boom-boom she made in the hayloft with Groffsauce." DYING.
This is the most accurate representation of spring awakening ever
I've definitely had dreams like that about Aaron Tveit too
Deborah Tragasz ...who hasn't?!!
IM SO GLAD THIS EXISTS BECAUSE I LOVE THE MUSIC bUT I DONT UNDERSTAND THE PLOT
join the club, kiddo

The new intro is fabulous!
OMG ALL THE MUSICAL REFERENCES ARE AMAZING
OMG THIS IS MY FAVE EP SO FARRRR
Thank you for panning the audio so I can only listen to the summary in the left ear. Or the banjo in the right ear. Can't do both at one time.
I loved this! I also love your new intro thing? It was super cute!
Those typical Aaron Tveit dreams we all have... (sigh...)
When I got this notification durning science class, I started crying!!😂😂
Is it just me or is the music playing in one headphone and the words in the other?? 😂😂

I have waiting for three minutes Spring Awakening for some time
I live for these!
Thank you 😆
Yea boi!!!
ILYSM TYLER!!!! Im from Australia and im coming to NY at the start of next year...what shows should i see???
This video was golden
Okay, question is the hayloft thing consensual? I've read that it's not, or heavily implied that Melchior takes advantage

It’s not consensual at all, in the script it’s much more violent and prevalent that he raped her.
Miss KRR no no. People are giving you false information. Even in the Broadway version it is 100% rape. They made it less violent but as it stood it was still 100% not consensual.

Broadway in latin is in fact latam
I'm so dead hahahahaa
YESSSS MY FAVORITE MUSICAL
This is what happens when you allow 2 bottoms to do a youtube video together
Stylin' new intro!
Late to this, but Broadway in Latin should be something like Latus Via.
Great. I think I got it. But just in case, tell me the whole story again slowly please? I wasn’t listening
If you’re looking for a synopsis of spring awakening because you want or understand what the show is about, this is not the video
My right ear hears nothing
Can we all stop calling the halof scene a sex scene? it was literally a rape scene
slay
This is so fast, I can't understand anything, lol 😅
