Description

Spring Awakening is a haunting and electrifying new rock musical that restores the mystery to the transformative experience that stirs in all our souls. By merging past and present, it underscores the timelessness of adolescent angst and the universality of human passion. Inspired by Frank Wedekind's 1891 play about teenage sexuality and society's efforts to control it, this extraordinary piece seamlessly blends original music with book and lyrics by Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik. The result is an unromanticized depiction of human sexuality that is both brutally honest and edgy. With its refined and imaginative simplicity, Spring Awakening daringly reverses the conventional rules of the American musical, returning it to a state of innocence. This bold new work will touch all open hearts with its staggering purity.
