Murder at the Gates

A bloody-good new musical by James Bourne of @Busted and the Tony, Grammy, and Olivier-winning creator of Spring Awakening, @StevenSater.

There are no words. It was the honor of a lifetime to know you and to work with you, Burt — to love and be loved by you. To create our songs and record our musical together. Some lovers are dreamers, Burt. You were my dream come true…

On January 10, 2007, our original Broadway cast of Spring Awakening performed two songs and signed CDs at the then center of the known universe — AKA, Virgin Megastore. And who can forget the young women who showed up with the lyrics written up their jeans?! 🤘🏻🎤

Hey, old friend! Jonathan Groff is giving the performance of a lifetime in Merrily We Roll Along. (Our mutual agent was also at the show, and exclaimed: "it’s the best work Jon's done since Spring Awakening!” I humbly agree.) Don’t miss it!

Dec 16, 2021, this thrilling reinvention of Spring Awakening opened at @almeida_theatre, & taught me to see my show with new eyes. (I was inspired to write new lyrics & add new reprises!) Thank you, @rupertgoold, @lynnepagedance, & our cast & crew. I'll never forget it! 🎤

In response to all the incredible, loving requests we’ve received, we'll be licensing Alice by Heart for amateur productions — for a limited time only! The overwhelming responses to our cast album have moved us profoundly. Making the show available is our way of saying thanks. 🙏🏻

I am so thrilled for our Spring Awakening at @AlmeidaTheatre. Nominated for Best Musical, the Evening Standard Theatre Award. 🎤

“F-cking Jonathan!” It was actually the fourth time he’d broken down in tears that day - in rehearsal for our Broadway reunion concert. Classic #groffsauce. Click to see the video🤣… https://t.co/4kEwjUUVKj

Suddenly our pre-pandemic Seymour meets the post-pandemic Seymour. Another mini-reunion! Spring Awakening meets @littleshopnyc to celebrate @SkylarAstin! 💚

Just too unreal, all this. The premiere of our Spring Awakening doc, THOSE YOU'VE KNOWN. Coming May 3rd, on @HBO and @hbomax. 🎤

[Steven Sater @StevenSater]

Back in November, we were on the emotional ride of a lifetime, filming our @HBO doc at @Mcmanusnyc. Only 5 days now, till our premiere. 13 days till we drop on @HBO!

I've been gathering Spring Awakening memorabilia for an interview with @museumbroadway. What occurs to me, as I do, is that Broadway is already a museum of Broadway. Every new show I see, I revisit the ghosts of the shows I've seen before in that same gorgeous theater...🎭

[Steven Sater @StevenSater]

3 years ago, we were "Chillin' the Regrets" as we opened Alice by Heart at @mcctheater. The cast ran on in masks, and a distanced Alice watched her friend put into quarantine. Little did we dream how timely the show would now feel. I'm always looking back on it...:)

It’s your party and you’ll die if they want to…
