Spring Awakening at Long Island Musical Theatre Festival

Based on the play by Frank Wedekind, featuring a book and lyrics by Steven Sater with music by Duncan Sheik

Taking place in late 19th century Germany, this Grammy and Tony Award winning musical takes its audience along for a ride during a time when grown-ups hold all the cards.Headstrong Melchior and naive Wendla stumble into each others’ arms, passionate and curious, while anxious Moritz struggles to live up to the expectations of society. Relying only on one another for guidance, this group of young men and women travel the rocky path of adolescence, discovering their bodies, their minds, and themselves along the way. An electric, vibrant celebration of youth and rebellion, Spring Awakening fuses issues of morality, sexuality, and rock and roll into a story with a power, a poignancy and a passion you will never forget!
