SPRING AWAKENING Will Return to NYC; Danya Taymor Set to Direct
The new production will hold open call auditions on July 10 and July 11.
BroadwayWorld has just learned that Seaview will soon present Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik’s seminal masterwork, Spring Awakening, opening this fall off-Broadway at Studio Seaview directed by Tony Award winner Danya Taymor. The Tony Award and Olivier Award-winning musical will be choreographed by Celia Rowlson-Hall – in her theatrical debut - with music supervision by Or Matias.
The new production will hold open call auditions on July 10 and July 11. Further details regarding the open call will be announced on the production's social media, @springawakeningmusical, at a later date.
This new production will bring Spring Awakening into an intimate Off-Broadway setting, returning the musical to the raw force and urgency of Frank Wedekind’s once banned 1891 play. Feral, honest, compassionate, and unflinching, the production will explore the experience of young people caught between desire, repression, fear, and discovery — then and now.

Spring Awakening follows a group of late 19th century German adolescents as they explore teenage sexuality and repression through a contemporary rock score. The show debuted on Broadway in 2006 with future stars Jonathan Groff, Lea Michele and John Gallagher Jr., and was later revived in 2015 with Deaf West Theatre directed by Michael Arden.
