Q: What's it like being a swing? Do you have more fun jamming with the audience in the Chair of Rock or being on stage performing as one of the students?Billy: There are two different amazing feelings. I love being a swing because when I watch the show, I always want to start singing as me, Billy, but being able to play a character is a lot of fun!
Q: What is your favorite song to perform in Spring Awakening and why?Coby: I really enjoy "And Then There Were None" because I really get to rock out on the song and I really feel the energy of the cast at the end. I think that's the most electrifying song for me.
Q: Which one of the characters in the show do you most identify with? What music do you rock out to on the tour bus?
Coby: I think Moritz -- I'm always hyperactive, and when I was younger I was really jumpy, and I think that I can relate to his frantic, all-over-the-place energy. I have a pretty eclectic mix of music on my iPod. On the tour bus, I rock out with Aaliyah, and I'm really into Janelle Monae.
Q: Sarah, is it really difficult playing so many roles at once and how do you handle it?Sarah: At first, it was hard to get the hang of it, trying to remember who I am in which scenes and getting the right props. It took a little getting used to, but it's actually been really fun!
Q: Do you guys have any crazy pre-show rituals or just cast traditions in general?
Sarah: We'll do a huddle backstage the majority of nights and get centered and end with hands in the center.
Coby: I have a good one! Chris Wood and I rap "Mary Had A Little Lamb" before the show.
Q: I'm assuming all three of you were fans of the show before your auditioned and got cast, so is it weird to have so many fans asking you for pictures and autographs at stage door?
Billy: Yes, I saw the show 3 times on Broadway, and I was one of those fans screaming at the stage door, but it's still weird to be on the other side.
Q: Were you a fan of Spring Awakening/Did you see Spring Awakening before you were cast?
Sarah: I actually had never seen it. I lived in New York for 5 years, and I never thought I'd play a part in it. It's just kind of crazy that I'm doing this now, and I'm having the time of my life. I wish now that I had seen it in New York.
Q: What has been your favorite experience through touring with Spring Awakening?
Billy: The people I've met and the friends I've made. I'm excited to return to the road on January 14.
Sarah: I agree.
Q: What tour stop are you looking forward to?
Sarah: My hometown! San Luis Obispo, January 30!
Coby: My hometown, Los Angeles!
Billy: My hometown on Long Island!
Don't miss next week's Blah, Blah, Blah Wednesday on December 22!
