No wonder Lea and Jon are such good friends - you don't go through how ever many performances of a scene like this without learning to trust someone completely.

This part of the musical (the loss of their virginity) is both beautiful and terrifying. Beautiful because they are discovering themselves as spring awakens for them, and terrifying because they have no idea of what they are doing.

i wouldn't say beautiful so much as profoundly disturbing. this is at its core a reflection of society's failure to prepare their children for these situations. i also think the controversial audience perspectives drive that point home. it's uncomfortable that the fanbase lacks a consensus on the consensuality of this scene. but that's my two cents

That is such an incredible scene. One of the most revolutionary things in musical theatre.
