Description

Caught between their sexual urges and society's contradictory teachings, 'Spring Awakening' is an alluringly melancholy story of self-discovery and coming of age anxiety as seen through the eyes of young teenagers. Set in repressive 19th century Germany, young students attempt to reckon with the thrilling, complicated and confusing time of their sexual awakening. This haunting and provocative rock-musical is a powerful celebration of youth and rebellion in this daring fusion of morality, sexuality and rock & roll. Music by Duncan Sheik. Book and lyrics by Steven Sater. Based on the play by Frank Wedekind. Directed by Rick Lombardo. Choreographed by Sonya Tayeh.

Winner of 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

"A GROUNDBREAKING JOLT OF GENIUS!" -The New York Post

"HAUNTING AND ELECTRIFYING! This brave new musical has a shivery, sensual allure unmatched by anything in the theater right now." -The New York Times

Please note: Spring Awakening is a powerful coming of age story with mature themes: sexual situations, partial nudity and strong language.
