Lea is the one who worked on the role and developed the role to what it became on b-way. No one credits the people who do the workshop it is who originates it on B-way. Stop trying to fine thing against her.

Actually, the character IS supposed to be in that age range of 13-16, as are all the characters. All the characters are right in the middle of puberty, and their age is part of what makes the story so dramatic, such tragic things happening to children so young and innocent.

I don't think the character was supposed to fourteen, but the actress just happened to be that age.

Yes, she started in workshops and off-Broadway in 2000. It came to Broadway in 2006.

she can still do it!
on glee now she plays a 15 or 16 year old
she say in mattress and another episode that she is a sophomore
that qualifies as the same age as wendla would be
now, ive never seen spring awakening
and i only became interested because of lea
and ive heard that its not as good with anyone other than the original cast playing the roles
so i would love to see them recast the entire cast
and be able to see the movie
and having her play the role again
would get it a lot of publicity
because glee fans will wanna see it
at least i will!

Lea made Spring Awakening her life from age 14 to age 21. She was the “creator” of the role of Wendela in workshop, off-broadway, and broadway.

I feel that if they were going to make a SA movie, they should get the entire original cast. After all, it was the original cast who voiced the soundtrack we all fell in love with and workshopped the hell out of this play before it even became popular.
I really wish, as exciting as a movie sounds, that they had filmed the show directly from the stage as they had done with Legally Blonde. This way, we could always watch the joy of the OBC most of us fell in love with.
However, no matter who they got, I’m sure I would see this. Spring Awakening is my favourite musical/play of all time.

Lea didn’t create the role of Wendla. It was actually Haven Burton who did it in the very first workshop.

I vote Lea Michele and Jon Groff.
