Spring Awakening Lyrics Analysis: Purple Summer & Musical Theater Notes | Applause Books | Perfect for Theater Students & Broadway Fans

I was a little enthusiastic about the song itself I really wasn’t sure with the book was all about even though it said notes and I’m like well I know what I can do so but I’m gonna do is I’m gonna it’s a good book but I’m gonna go ahead and give it to my voice teacher vocal teacher and see what she can do it otherwise I think it’s OKThe book is insightful about each song and their origins on top of what Sater's intentions were with certain lyrics. The only complaint is that its a bit short. Its an easy book to finish in one sitting. Its great if you want to learn more about the music or if you're actually in a production and want to know what the hell you're singing.I recently performed in this show and used this book to get a little more background on the lyrics and their meaning. This show is rich with references that may be lost on the actor without this book. Definitely worth a read if you plan on performing this show or are just looking for more information about the show!A quick read, but for fans of the musical, lyricist Steven Sater's insights are indispensable. I learned much about the story as told through the songs, and the significance of the staging.This book is very helpful for the curious listener or the thespian getting in touch with their Spring Awakening character. Steven Sater gives great explanations for each of his beautiful lyrics and even shares a few of the original lyrics which were changed. The book itself is small, but definitely worth the money.I for one am someone who loves to know the creative process behind songs and various other ideas, so reading this was an absolute splendor for me. It came in great condition.Great book, came quickly. My best friend absolutely loved it. Could've been longer, but it was worth it.This small companion book by Steven Sater (a.k.a the lyricist who penned the cryptic, poetic, and often unintelligible words to Spring Awakening) is a GREAT resource for any actor or other artist who wants to be able to bring new depth and layers to their performance of the material. His writing is somewhat dense at times (though that should come at no surprise...) but it is filled with images, clarifications, and suggestions that will help you make strong, deep choices. Highly recommend!Brought this because I was performing the show and want little more knowledge on the songs I was singing and it amazing perfect if you performing the show or just want to know little more about itDaughter is doing this musical in her uni course and found the book an excellent resource for understanding the story and lyrics
