Spring has sprung!
Over the weekend, Michele, 35, shared behind-the-scenes photos from the production, writing, “Bringing this show to life again has been one of the most incredible experiences of my life.”
On Tuesday, the actress was still reminiscing over the reunion, sharing a photo on Instagram of the cast and writing, “It may never be possible to truly put into words how much last night meant to us all. A dream come true. To be reunited again with this incredible family, performing our unbelievable show.. together again. So truly grateful.❤️”
Spring Awakeningbegan previews on Broadway on Nov. 16, 2006, and officially opened in December of that year. The musical, which starred a young Michele prior to her breakout role asGlee’s Rachel Berry, went on to win eight Tony Awards, including one for best musical.

Original cast member Lauren Pritchard recently told PEOPLE that she and Groffwere the driving forces behind the reunion.
“The next night, I had this very vivid dream that we all got back together for a one-night-only concert, we did it as a benefit concert, and it was filmed, and we were all there,” Pritchard said. “So I called Jonathan the next day, and I say, ‘Groff, I had this amazing vivid dream.’ Why can’t we do a one-night-only concert?”
Then in January, Pritchard and Groff began reaching out to the entire cast and creative team with the blessing of creators Sheik and Sater.
For those unable to make it to the reunion, an HBO Max documentary is currently in the works and chronicles the making of the reunion concert, streaming sometime next year. The documentary will feature performances from the reunion, behind-the-scenes moments from the original cast as they reunite, new interviews, and archival footage featuring the original performance.
