Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who wrote the music to "Spring Awakening"?

Answer: Duncan Sheik

Duncan Sheik is an American pop-rock singer who was pushed to pursue his musical interests by his piano-playing grandmother. He had a hit single in the late 90's with "Barely Breathing".

2. Who originally played Moritz?

Answer: John Gallagher, Jr.

Moritz is so confused with the onset of his puberty that he kills himself. Spinella, Michele and Groff are all members of the original Broadway cast.

3. Which role did Michael Cerveris play in one of the six workshops that "Spring Awakening" went through?

Answer: The Stranger

When "Spring Awakening" debuted on Broadway, the role of the Stranger was nowhere to be found. Instead, Stephen Spinella played all the adult male roles.

4. How old is Wendla?

Answer: Fourteen

At only fourteen, Wendla sleeps with Melchior and later finds out she is pregnant, leaving both of them unready to raise a child in a world that shuns anything even remotely sexual.

5. Which character fails out of school?

Answer: Moritz

Befuddled by puberty, Moritz cannot keep his mind on his studies and soon fails out of school. Even though Melchior and Ilse try to help him, he can find no solace and later kills himself.

6. Who is expelled from school for Moritz's suicide?

Answer: Melchior

Suicide was very poorly understood in 1890's Germany. The Headmasters of the school waste no time in blaming Melchior for Moritz's "crime" and expel him from the school.

7. Ilse sings in the first "Mama Who Bore Me".

Answer: False

Wendla sings the first song in the show, "Mama Who Bore Me". Ilse does sing in "The Dark I Know Well" and "Blue Wind", as well as the reprise of "Mama Who Bore Me". She does not, however, sing in the original song.

8. Which character sings "All That's Known"?

Answer: Melchior

Another early song in the first act, "All That's Known" is Melchior's way of rebelling against his know-it-all teachers. The teachers are very strict, going so far as to beat both Melchior and Moritz.

9. What is Wendla using to grasp at pearls?

Answer: Her fingertips

This lyric is from the duet "The Word Of Your Body", where Melchior and Wendla share an intimate moment. Their young love will go on to have tragic consequences when Wendla finds out that she's pregnant.

10. Who does not sing in "Those You've Known"?

Answer: Ilse

"Those you've known
And lost, still walk behind you
All alone
They linger till they find you
Without them
The world grows dark around you
And nothing is the same until you know that they have found you."
