Spring Awakening

book and lyrics by Steven Sater
music by Duncan Sheik
based on the play by Frank Wedekind
directed by Damon Kiely
musical direction by Mark Elliott

1890s Germany. Winner of eight Tony Awards, this rock musical adaptation proves that Wedekind’s coming-of-age tragedy still has the power to shock. Spring Awakening pits the radiance of youth against the apathy of adulthood with a powerful score by Duncan Sheik.

Due to adult situations and content, parental supervision is recommended for ages 17 and younger.
