BWW Review: SPRING AWAKENING at Musical Theater Heritage
by Paul Bolton
- Aug 21, 2017
HTC's production of Spring Awakening, a folk-rock musical directed by Hersh Ellis, at the MTH Theater in Crown Center brings to life the gritty music of Duncan Sheik and the timeless lyrics and book of Steven Slater. Themes of injustice, homosexuality, teen pregnancy, masturbation, suicide, and conforming to strict rule compel a group of young people, questioning the unfairness of their world, to rebel.
