We here at TheaterDogs are about to kick into high gear with Spring Awakening, which officially kicks off its national tour (after a “preview” run in San Diego) Sept. 4 (official opening night is Sunday, Sept. 7) at the Curran Theatre.

In the next couple weeks, you can expect interviews with composer Duncan Sheik, lyricist/book writer Steven Sater, director Michael Mayer, producer Tom Hulce and choreographer Bill T. Jones.

To kick things off, you should check out the podcast interview with Mayer on the SHN/Best of Broadway Web site here: http://shnsf.com/podcast/index.asp
