The upcoming "Into the Woods" has brought in Broadway musical giants to the big screen, including "Wicked" and "Spring Awakening". Creator Dunkan Sheik talks developments and a new song. Original Broadway cast stars Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff-both appearing in the musical television series "Glee", will they reprise their roles in the movie adaptation?
An adaptation itself from a 1900s play in Berlin, "Spring Awakening" is a story of coming-of-age, where teenagers both boys and girls are enveloped in school, household, friendship and life problems. Dunkan Sheik adapted the story and put his own music and "Spring Awakening" opened in 2006. He talks production details, release date and a new song for the upcoming "Spring Awakening" movie adaptation.
First and foremost, release date. While "Spring Awakening" is deep in development, release date is far far away. At least fans are assured that "Spring Awakening" is indeed coming, the exact release date has yet to be revealed. According to Sheik in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter: "We've got a [long] way to go before we're shooting. McG is a very busy director and there's a lot of moving parts."
After the "Spring Awakening" movie adaptation release date information, Sheik also reveals another production details that include a new song. While "Spring Awakening" itself has about 21 songs for broadway, the creator announces that there will at least be one additional new song to make the it eligible to win an Oscar for Best Song. What this new song will be, it will definitely be spunky as in how "Spring Awakening" does it.
Cast news prior to "Spring Awakening" release date announcement reveals "Glee" actors Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff, who played Wendla Bergmann and Melchior Gabor, respectively, as the original cast of "Spring Awakening" on Broadway. Some reports reveal that "Glee" actors Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff are in negotiations with the "Spring Awakening" production team to reprise their lead roles but nothing has been finalized to date.
Both actors Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff began in Broadway, and continued together as they appeared in "Glee". Now that "Spring Awakening" production details have surfaced online following news on movie adaptation, will "Glee's" Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff conquer the big screen together as well? Stay tuned for official casting announcements and other production details of the upcoming "Spring Awakening" movie adaptation.
