Spring Awakening to Be Revived Off-Broadway This Fall

Tony winner Danya Taymor will direct a new off-Broadway revival of Duncan Sheik and Seven Sater’s Spring Awakening this fall at Studio Seaview. Celia Rowlson-Hall will choreograph and Or Maias will serve as music supervisor.

Open call auditions for the production will take place July 10 and 11, with full details announced in the coming weeks on the show’s Instagram page.

Based on the 1891 Frank Wedekind play and set against the backdrop of a repressive and provincial late-19th-century Germany, Spring Awakening tells the timeless story of teenage self-discovery and budding sexuality as seen through the eyes of three teenagers.

Spring Awakening was originally produced by the Atlantic Theater Company, before transferring to Broadway in the winter of 2006. It won the Tony Awards triple-crown, taking home the Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Score trophies, as well as a host of others. It received a Broadway revival in 2015, presented by Deaf West.
