Ok so I hope I am doing this response correctly....here we go!
I read a bunch of articles in the arts section of the L.A. Times and out of everything I saw, there was one article that really caught my attention and actually made me quite happy. I read that coming to Broadway this winter is a musical called "American Idiot." Which is going to be based of of the works of the band Green Day. My initial reaction was "OMG they are making a Green Day musical!?" I really used to like Green Day a lot. They actually were one of my first favorite bands. However in my opinion when they came out with "American Idiot", they for me became a sell out band. The article talks about the plans for the new musical. They compared it to the musical "Spring Awakening" and told how some of the same producers that produced "Spring Awakening" are gonna to be producing "American Idiot." Needless to say, it sounds like it has potential to be an absolutley amazing Broadway musical.
This article appeals to readers such as me who are very much interested in the art of musical theater. In this article the only camparison that I see is that they compare this musical to "Spring Awakening." Actually they have a picture posted of their set and when I saw it, I immediatly thought of "Spring Awakening." So to answer the question, I think that this compares to older work because "Spring Awakening" was an older musical. It seems to have that same look and feel to it. It was great to be able to see and hear about this new up and coming show. It looks to be a great piece of musical theater.
I hope that this is what you were looking for in this post. I think that musical theater is a huge part of my life when it comes to art. It is the art that makes me the most happy.
