** Andy Mientus (Connor) is a natural brunet, has played Hanschen Rilow in Theatre/SpringAwakening twice, and specifically dyed his hair blond for the role of a manipulative, sexually and romantically forward, teenager, who might be bisexual. His brunet bisexual character winds up [[spoiler: used as a vessel for a demon]], which magic bleaches hair blond, and [[spoiler: manifests as a MagnificentBastard DepravedBisexual. Or just an "equal-opportunity bastard".]]
*** His gay brunet character in Series/{{Smash}} ends up [[spoiler: dead. So did Connor.]]
*** Black-haired, bespectacled, DeadpanSnarker? Connor Lane or Hartley Rathaway, the [[Series/TheFlash2014 Pied Piper]]?
** Opposite Mientus for the revival of Spring Awakening is Josh Castille and Daniel David Stewart, who plays the innocent Deaf boy Ernst Robel and his voice, respectively. The amount of material with Mientus and Castille kissing led the authors to facecast Josh as Hartley, an innocent Deaf boy manipulated by [[spoiler: blond!Connor. Or, to be technical, Robert.]]
** Anton Zetterholm as Rudolf Gerth, the delicate Austrian exchange student. Anton played Rudolf in Elisabeth das Musical, and was the author's first Enjolras.
