21 of these 36 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 15 are set from the identifier in the cast list, which is a slug of the name, so hyphens and full stops are lost and a few come out wrong. We hold nothing else about them. Nobody here is matched to a character: the cast list records who was in the company and not what they played.

None of these is attributed to this staging. They are filed against Spring Awakening, and nothing says which production any of them documents. Closing that join is the point of this catalogue and it is not closed yet.
Around this production
The handheld microphones were a deliberate choice: when characters burst into song, they pulled mics from their pockets, signaling a shift from the repressive 19th-century world to their uncensored inner lives.

- Director Michael Mayer shepherded Spring Awakening throughout a seven-year trail of workshops, concerts, and rewrites before the show opened at Off-Broadway’s Atlantic Theatre Company in May of 2006.
