Spring Awakening

Winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Spring Awakening explores the journey from adolescence to adulthood through an illuminating book and poignant lyrics by Steven Sater, and a gorgeous score by Duncan Sheik. Based on the controversial 1891 German play by Frank Wedekind, Spring Awakening is a thrilling blend of morality, sexuality, and rock ‘n’ roll that has been rousing audiences across the nation for years. In late 19th-century Germany, the grownups hold all the cards, and the children are expected to obey. However, once this corrupt society is exposed, a group of students learn how to navigate teenage self-discovery and coming-of-age anxiety.
