Cast Halloween Photos

Well, you've shared your Spring Awakening Halloween costumes with us, so we thought we'd show you some of ours! (The winner of the Halloween costume contest will be announced in an upcoming TotallyTrucked video, by the way).

After preparing for Halloween week by going to the House of Torment and seeing "Paranormal Activity," the cast decided to throw themselves a big ol' party at the Sainte Claire Hotel in San Jose! Can you find in the following pictures: 1) A Chair of Rock, 2) Dora the Explorer, 3) a Shark, 4) Lady Gaga, 5) Steffi D, 6) a Sainte Claire Fitness Club Guest, 7) Facebook, 8) The Cat in the Hat, 9) the murderer(s) from Scream and 10) a Snuggie Blanket? Photos courtesy of Steffi D!

New TotallyTrucked Video: Paranormal Activity!

Spring Awakening Tour: Paranormal Activity

The whisper is that Paranormal Activity is the scariest movie ever made...but is that all marketing hype?? While in San Jose, our fearless cast members, not satisfied with their visit to the House of Torment, steeled themselves for a frightful night at the movies--Kayla's first horror movie ever! The evening started innocently enough with a friendly debate: What's the ultimate candy of choice for a night at the movies - Swedish Fish, Milk Duds, or Sour Patch Kids? The laughter soon turned to true terror, however, as the lights dimmed. Watch how the movie scared the bejesus out of our cast and how some well-meaning fans fed into their paranoia on the walk back to the hotel! Hilarious! Check out another scarefest Halloween celebration.

New TotallyTrucked Video: Jam Session

Spring Awakening Tour: Jam Session
A few bus rides and tour stops back, one of Andy's favorite rock bands, Kings of Leon, happened to land in the same town - Kansas City. So Christy Altomare turned his frown upside down and went unplugged, conducting a KOL tribute jam session of "Use Somebody" with Andy. Check out this beautiful rendition of a great tune.

Next up is an uber secret, Narnia-esque garden in the deep creeks of Austin, Texas. Check out the Aztec shrine of golden plastic cats...a little bit creepy but nonetheless cool!

DID YOU KNOW...
"I hear that train a-coming, it's coming round the bend." The famous Johnny Cash song "Folsom Prison Blues" takes its title and storyline from the nearby correctional facility, where Cash performed.

ADVANCE PRESS
The refrain was "Is Sacramento Ready for Spring Awakening?" Oh please [head slam].

Sacramento Press
"If Des Moines can handle it, maybe we can. I think we're at least as hip and edgy as Des Moines, don't you think?" [LOL]
