Spring Awakening’s New “Melchior”!

reality — Sat, 17 May 2008 23:52:49 +0000

Kyle’s been rehearsing for weeks! He’s set to take over the lead role of Melchior in the Tony award-winning rock musical, Spring Awakening.

Riabko starts May 23, replacing Jonathan Groff, who originated the role in the show, which is based on Frank Wedekind’s classic drama. It has music by Duncan Sheik and book and lyrics by Steven Sater.

The performer steps into the musical three days after Alexandra Socha takes over the role of Wendla (the object of Melchior’s passion) from Lea Michele, another original cast member.

"I actually saw the musical well before I considered being a part of it and loved it so much," Riabko said.

"The reason Spring Awakening appeals to me is the reason I think it appeals to every young person," Riabko added. "I am not that far away from all of the events in the show. Not only do I remember those exact issues, but I am kind of living through them at the same time as well."

"The hardest part for me was thinking before I got here: ‘I’ve got all this stuff to do and I’ve got to fit in — not only on stage but backstage, too," he explained. "Melchior is a leader in the play and because of that, I think that people look up to Jonathan as a person.

"I thought, ‘Oh, I’m this skinny little kid from Canada and they’re all going to look down on me.’ But honestly, every cast person and every stage manager has been so open and accepting. They have been excited for the change. It’s been so easy to fit in."

Kyle starts Friday, May 23rd and tickets are available for purchase on the offical Spring Awakening website.

We just arrived in Austin, Texas for the annual hipster conference that we’ve all grown to love. The Sixers fit right in!

Boots and I are hiding in a hotel room, because tight jeans scare him. The streets are riddled with them. You can never be too safe.

We made this video for you. Enjoy.
