Excited to see “Spring Awakening” tonight for the very first time at the Orange County Performing Arts Center. I read that McG is taking the Broadway rock musical onto the big screen, with a movie based on the original book by Steven Sater. It’s a coming-of-age story set in 19th-century Germany and centered on a group of teens discovering their sexuality. Tickets to see “Spring Awakening” range from $20 to $70 at OCPAC.org, at the Center’s Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling 714.556.2787. Check out this video with Orange County Performing Arts President…
