Steven Sater News

Musical Times, realtà di formazione e produzione diretta da Denny Lanza, porta in scena, nel 2022, il nuovo allestimento italiano di Spring Awakening, il controverso rock musical vincitore di numerosi Tony Awards, basato sull’opera di Frank Wedekind, su musiche di Duncan Sheik, con libretto e testi di Steven Sater. La School Edition di Spring Awakening vede protagonisti gli allievi di MAGDA – Scuola di Musical di Calenzano (FI), che hanno un’età simile a quella dei personaggi della storia.

So many musicals wish they were as cool, progressive, provocative as Spring Awakening still is since its premiere Off-Broadway in 2006. More than 15 years later and a bunch of awards garnered across the world, it’s still as fresh and stunning in Rupert Goold’s monumental production at the Almeida. Based on a 19th Century banned German play and delicately exploring topics like sex, homosexuality, abortion, and rape in a disapproving, hyper-conservative community, Steven Sater (book and lyrics) and Duncan Sheik’s (music) rock musical has become an evergreen show that society as it is won't be able to surmount thematically.

As the Almeida revival of Spring Awakening opens in London, writer Steven Sater talks about his relationship with the show over the years, as well as his new Grammy-nominated concept album with Burt Bacharach.
