SPRING AWAKENING is a searingly emotional adaptation of Frank Wedekind's controversial 1891 play centering on sexual awakening, morality, youth and rebellion, perfectly complemented by an electrifying, Tony Award-winning pop rock score by Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik. A provocative exploration of the journey from adolescence to adulthood, SPRING AWAKENING won eight Tony Awards in 2007, including Best Musical. SPRING AWAKENING follows a group of teenagers in 19th Century Germany as they cope with the agonies and ecstasies of discovering their sexuality in a structured and unforgiving society. The bold and poignant story of boy-meets-girl during their rebellious teenage years explodes on stage in unpredictable twists as they push the boundaries of human struggle and desire.
