Texas loves Spring Awakening, apparently

I just had an email from a New York agency that says that Texas generates more Google searches for the just-closed Broadway show Spring Awakening than any other state but New York. Most hits came from females, and the largest number come from the 13-to-17 age group.

There's no official word yet when the tour of the show will get to Dallas, but evidence points to its being on the first season of musicals at the upcoming Winspear Opera House in the new Dallas Center for the Performing Arts.

I'm glad there's interest, but will Texas parents let their teens come to a show where the top song has a title, not just a lyric or two, is hard-R-rated?
