Maybe I'm an Ageist
I’m still trying to assess how I felt about Spring Awakening. I suspect I would have really liked it when I was in High School. Overall, it was okay but didn’t really appeal to me. Although it was kind of different, I also felt it was a rehash of alot of themes we’ve seen before.
Pros:
