By: BWW News Desk
SPRING AWAKENING which recently completed an extended, critically-acclaimed engagement at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Los Angeles opens on Broadway, for a limited run at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre this Sunday, Sept 27. The Wallis expanded and co-produced the Deaf West Theater production from its original, sold-out run in downtown L.A.
On Thursday of this week, SPRING AWAKENING received 15 Ovation Award nominations, including 12 for The Wallis production and 3 for the original staging.
The Wallis' upcoming fall theatre programming for their 2015-16 season includes Love Letters, by A.R. Gurney and directed by Gregory Mosher, starring Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neill, the award-winning production of Wiesenthal, written by and starring Tom Dugan and directed by Jenny Sullivan, and Oregon Shakespeare Festival's production of Guys and Dolls, directed by Mary Zimmerman, which was recently praised by the Wall Street Journal as a "fetching revival, as good as any production I've ever seen of the greatest of all the golden-age musicals." Tickets for upcoming performances at The Wallis are available at www.thewallis.org, by calling 310-746-4000, or in person at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts Ticket Services located at 9390 N. Santa Monica Blvd., Beverly Hills, CA 90210.Pictured: Sandra Mae Frank (Wendla) and Austin P. McKenzie (Melchior) in SPRING AWAKENING at The Wallis. Photo by Kevin Parry.
