Broadway Musical “Spring Awakening” Ticket Giveaway
This giveaway is closed. The winner has been notified. Thanks to those of you that entered. :)
Broadway’s most talked about new musical Spring Awakening is the groundbreaking fusion of morality, sexuality and rock & roll that has awakened Broadway like no other musical in recent memory. Spring Awakening celebrates the unforgettable journey from youth to adulthood with a power, poignancy and a passion you will never forget. The best news is that the biggest Tony Award-winner in years is coming to Denver at the Buell Theatre starting December 1st-13th.
If you are not familiar with Spring Awakening, I would like to share with you a little about its content. This information was taken directly from their website.
This new musical is based on a play written in 1891 by Frank Wedekind. It’s a coming-of-age story that takes place in late 19th-century Germany and shows the struggles and triumphs of teenagers living in a repressive society. It features a passionate love story, portrays strong friendships, and uses quite a bit of humor and creativity to address heavy themes.
According to parents that have seen Spring Awakening, it is a great way to bridge certain topics that are hard to discuss with your teens. You are welcome to watch the following reviews from parents who have seen the musical. This can help you to decide if you feel the content is appropriate for your family. The content can be a little uncomfortable at times, but life can sometimes be a little uncomfortable too. That is part of what this musical attempts to tackle. As a parent or a child, it can be very hard to discuss certain topics with each other. I remember in my own life growing up, there were times that I took advice from friends rather my parents. It was not because I didn’t love them; it was simply because I didn’t feel comfortable talking with them about certain things. I would have been so much better off had I been willing to talk with my parents. These are the types of conversations that Spring Awakening hopes to spark between a parent and child.
I have not personally seen the musical Spring Awakening, so I am not able to give you my personal opinion on it yet. I do know that I am for anything that helps a child to open up to a parent in a positive way. I intend on seeing the show during the time it is here. Tickets prices start at $25 and go to $90. I will be doing a review of my thoughts once I have had the opportunity to view it.
I am leaving the comments on this post open to discuss the challenges we face with connecting with our children. How do you try to bridge that gap that sometimes occurs between parents and children? What is your best advice to a parent who is struggling with trying to build a stronger relationship with a child? We have all been there, whether it was when we were children or with our own children. What topics do you wish you could have gone to your own parents for help with? That is part of what Mile High Mamas is all about, connecting with other moms in order to help each other! I look forward to chatting with you guys through your comments.
There will be something in this for you other than just good conversation too. Spring Awakening is offering one of you lovely Mile High Mama readers a pair of premium tickets to the opening night of Spring Awakening on December 1st. The winner will be chosen from the comments left on this post. I look forward to getting to know you guys better as we encourage each other with our “Awakening” moments.

I would love the chance to see this! There are many things I wish I could have felt able to discuss with my parents. I am hoping that my husband and I are developing a more open relationship with our children. I want them to know they are able to come to us for anything.
I am not yet the parent of teenagers, but I worry about that time. My parents were not available to me to talk to them about the struggles I was going through. I vow to be there for my sons. I’ve heard wonderful things about this show and would be excited to see it.
My kiddo is only 1 1/2 but I plan to be honest, open and scare the living crap out of him! If that doesn’t work, I’m locking him in the basement. Is that legal? :)
Let me in on THIS conversation.
I was a Mom at 18 and nothing anyone would have told me would have worked on me. But I can tell you that I wanted nothing more than a strong relationship with my mother, one I didn’t get until I was in my 20’s.
Now I am a mother of three teens (18, 15 and 14). My son and I have a strong relationship, but he’s the only boy of 6 kids. It was inevitable.
My daughter whom is 18 now and I have had a rocky road, but we talk all the time. I drive her to school every morning and we are very similar so we argue a lot.
My 15 year old and I are trying, hard. She’s the artist of the family and I adore that, however, I am pretty sure she’s smarter than me and that makes things difficult, because I don’t always understand how she got so mature.
We all talk, all the time, we cook together, watch TV and stupid videos on the computer. I remember what it was like to be a kid, even when I want to scream, “It’s HIGH SCHOOL. It doesn’t matter in the real world” .. I know, to them… that is the real world. It is the only world they know.
When a boyfriend is not treating one of my daughters right, I voice my concerns just like I would a girlfriend. I let her know that she deserves better and then I bite my tongue and try to give him another chance. I never go beyond two chances though. After that, the olive branch is burned.
I let them see me cry, they know when money is hard and when we are having a bad day in the house. But I also let them see me dance around the house to silly music or go out with my girlfriends. They need to see us as human…
My 18 year old will graduate high school this coming May… I’d like to think I did a pretty good job! :) Yes… that’s me patting myself on the back.
My kids and I talk about EVERYTHING. Even the things that make me cringe… after gagging a little, they know that we can talk about it all. I know my job as a parent is to raise them as productive members of society, it’s a hard job but I wouldn’t let anyone else do it.
My husband and I moved to Colorado about two years ago, and now we live over 1,000 miles away from our parents. Even though we talk to them on the phone often and visit as often as we can, it’s still hard to maintain that connection that we previously had. Now we’re thinking about having kids, and we feel that it will be even more important to maintain that connection, because we want the kids to be close to their grandparents.
My daughter loves Spring Awakening! This would be an amazing experience!
You guys have all been terrific! I really appreciate the comments you left here. It sounds like you are all doing things to ensure a great relationship with your kiddos. I have to say, I am not sure locking them in the basement would be legal. LOL I look forward to learning more from you guys.
