Spring Awakening at Wortham Center for the Performing Arts

Spring Awakening is a Tony Award-winning rock musical with music by Duncan Sheik and book and lyrics by Steven Sater, based on Frank Wedekind's controversial 1891 play. The story follows a group of young people navigating identity, sexuality, and mental health in a world that refuses to answer their questions, set in late nineteenth-century Germany. The production stars Caleb Hector as Melchior, Emma-Leigh Brookshire as Wendla, and Maximilian Koger as Moritz, with additional cast members including Kirby Gibson, Kelli Hall, Reed Atherton, Isabeli Buendia, Alex Poteat, Annabel Pulman, Shane Dinan, Lucien Hinton, Richie Barrella, and Fancy Marie. The production is directed by Ethan Henry, with choreography by Zoe Zelonky and music direction by Gabrielle Tee, and is recommended for audiences ages 16 and older due to mature themes.
