Spring Awakening is a new musical about innocence, lost and found.
Based on the infamous 1891 Frank Wedekind play and featuring an original score by Grammy® nominated recording star Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater , Spring Awakening explodes on the stage and pours out over the audience like hormones raging through a sixteen year-old body.
It is a story of uncontrollable emotions and undeniable passions, of first love and lasting regrets. But most remarkably, it is a musical that answers the questions teenagers have been asking forever.
