OH GOD YES. MATT DOYLE. HE IS AMAZING HE WAS IN SA AND HE WOULD BE PERFECT.

Anyway, yes, I’m ready for this movie……..no Taylor Swift type stunt casting.

This is just stupid. Lea, Jon, John and (wait for it) Jonathan were te best actors to be in SA. I don’t want to see othe r people do it. Les created the character Wendla, Mama Who Bore Me is the song that really shows who Wendla is andno one but Lea can pull it off.

I really wish they would at least get Lea back for it. She’s playing a 16 year old right now on Glee. I’m convinced, she’s super petite enough, and just don’t make her up all fancy.

Groff, yeah, he’s probably too old. And I agree that Gallagher not being in it will be devastating…but I understand their reasoning.

It’s just gunna be so hard to see someone else playing these characters! I love them all so much!

I’m excited for a Spring Awakening film…But I really wanted to see the OBC in it….I mean, look at the movie Rent….Idina Menzel was already in her 30′s when she filmed it…Yet again the characters in RENT weren’t suppose to be between 14-16 years old.
I know it’ll be great nonetheless…But I would’ve really liked to have seen Jonathan Groff, Lea Michele, John Gallagher Jr, and Skylar Astin reprise their roles..They were EPIC.

I hope they at least cast some of the performers from the touring cast. All of the broadway actors have a great knowledge of and experience with the show.

Hmm what about Matt Doyle being in it??? He looks younger than Lea and Jonathan, even though he's around the same age.

I don't know whether to upset or thrilled about this. I agree, they would've been much too old -- I understand Sheik and Sater like the actors to be young enough to look the part and connect to the innocence of a child.

I'll be upset that John Gallgher Jr. isn't in it though, he was absolutely fantastic, my absolute favorite actor to have ever been on stage in this production.

I'm surprised though! Considering that Lea Michele has found so much recent success in the mainstream with Glee, I would've expected them to go for OBC. You know, bigger actors, bigger gross.

But I thing that's a good sign. They're focusing more on the actual movie than publicity.

@Anonymous: Definitely sure. Duncan said so himself. As for technology, I'm not sure how I feel about an AVATAR-style SPRING AWAKENING film, hahahaha!

Are you sure they won't reprise their roles? Or any of the other obc's? I know they're too old for the part, but I'd love to see the original cast doing the film. And if the problem is really that, don't we have technology? Hehe…they could do what they did in Benjamin Button…then again, I just realized that it's a low budget film…darn…
