Review: Spring Awakening Transfers to the West End
by Robert Gould - Apr 6, 2009

In a time when the average musical theatre menu served in the West End consists of revived old musicals, bland and rather inconsequential new musicals or purely commercial vehicles with little originality of content and no original score - it is a breath of fresh air to have a musical theatre piece open at a West End house that is new, innovative, has a serious plot with layers of thought-provoking sub-text and also has an original, vibrant score. A breath of Spring air, in fact. The multi-Tony Award winning Spring Awakening, currently playing at the Novello Theatre (fresh from an 'out of town' triumph at the Lyric, Hammersmith) is one of the most exciting shows to hit the West End in years.
