The stars spoke to TODAY about the first-ever 'Spring Awakening' cast reunion and how the musical remains topical more than a decade later.
Michele said that no one in the cast initially expected the show to make such a major splash, and have such an enduring impact. In the documentary, Groff recounted a time where the show's director, Michael Mayer, cautioned him not to"get too excited" about the show's possible run."It's sort of like a gift that keeps on giving," Gallagher Jr. added."We're so lucky to be part of something that made a difference ...
"It's more timely now than ever," said Michele."It's devastating. I can't believe we're talking about this ... It's heartbreaking. There's such a fight to be had and I feel like the timing of our show coming out right now is really incredible."The performers both said that they hope the show will give hope to those struggling and remind them that they are not alone.
