West Coast Spring Awakening: In Concert Will Feature Kelley Jakle, Nathan Parrett, Payson Lewis and More
Spring Awakening: In Concert, a theatre-concert hybrid that features Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater’s score from the Tony Award-winning rock musical, will be offered July 20-29 at Downtown Los Angeles’ Hayworth Theatre.
Kelley Jakle, who will make her feature film debut with the upcoming movie “Pitch Perfect” and has been seen on NBC’s “The Sing-Off,” will lend her voice to the character of Wendla. Featured vocalists will also include Nathan Parrett (“The Voice”), Payson Lewis (“The Sing-Off”), independent recording artists Olivia Noelle and Anthony Starble, Caitlin Ary, Jonah Platt, Topher Rhys, Jamie Lee Barnard, Jilli Marine and Michael Christopher Luebke.
Rouding out the cast are Eric Schackne and members of the L.A.-based bands Young Harry Trumans and Back Pocket Memory; Paul T. Brindley and Alissa-Nicole Koblentz will play the adult authority figures.
I’m pretty sure this has been posted about on Tumblr before but I only just saw this article. I am thrilled any time Spring Awakening and The Sing-Off can be mentioned in the same article.
