Following Sunday night's Olivier Awards, a rush of Tweets wondered if Spring Awakening might be revived due to its success. Its two Welsh leads, Aneurin Barnard and Iwan Rheon, received a double win as Best Actor in a Musical and Best Supporting Performance in a Musical respectively.

Could a West End revival really be in the works, or is this just wishful thinking?

On Monday, March 29, a limited number of on-stage seating tickets will be available for sale for every performance of Spring Awakening. The Tony Award®-winning musical is playing at Detroit's Fisher Theatre from April 20 to May 9, 2010.
