Tratta dalla controversa piece teatrale di Frank Wedekind Risveglio di Primavera, pubblicata nel 1891 e a lungo oggetto di censura per la scabrosita e la provocarieta dei temi, l'opera mette in scena l'amore fra due quattordicenni e il drammatico conflitto tra un gruppo di adolescenti e i loro genitori e insegnanti. SPRING AWAKENING ha riscosso un clamoroso successo di critica e di pubblico e si e ben presto affermato come uno degli spettacoli piu originali e innovativi. Nel 2007, stravolgendo le previsioni, ha vinto ben otto Tony Awards tra cui miglior musical, miglior libretto, miglior colonna sonora originale, miglior regia, migliori musiche, diventando un cult generazionale e lanciando la giovanissima protagonista Lea Michele (protagonista di GLEE) nell'olimpo delle star piu apprezzate tra i giovani. Su libretto e testi di Steven Sater e musiche di Duncan Sheik, con un cast eccezionale di giovani performer, rock band dal vivo, musiche originali cantate in inglese con traduzioni proiettate sulla scena, Spring Awakening debutta in anteprima nazionale su licenza esclusiva MTI.
