Spring Awakening
December 9-14, 2008Winner of eight Tony Awards® including Best Musical! Broadway’s most talked about new musical is now the biggest Tony Award®-winner in years.
SPRING AWAKENING is the groundbreaking fusion of morality, sexuality and rock & roll that has awakened Broadway like no other musical in years. SPRING AWAKENING is a musical, based on a play of the same name written in 1891 by Frank Wedekind. It’s a coming-of-age story that takes place in a provincial German town in the late nineteenth-century, and shows the consequences of living in a repressive society. Steven Sater, who wrote the book and lyrics, has said that his impulse in writing the show was “a desire to move hearts and try and change the world a little.” Although SPRING AWAKENING deals with very important themes, it also has a lot of humor and is a great deal of fun. Teenagers will easily identify – and identify with – the characters onstage.
SPRING AWAKENING celebrates the unforgettable journey from youth to adulthood with a power, a poignancy and a passion you will never forget. We agree with the NY Times “Broadway may never be the same again!”
