Winner of eight Tony Awards in 2007, including Best Musical, Spring Awakening is a groundbreaking show by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater that explores the tumultuous journey from adolescence to adulthood. With what Entertainment Weekly called "the most gorgeous Broadway score this decade," this electrifying fusion of morality, sexuality, and rock and roll is unforgettable.
Set in 19th-century Germany, Spring Awakening follows a group of teenagers discovering their inner and outer worlds amidst the strict confines of their repressive society. Their poignant and passionate stories unfold in a stunning mix of raw emotion, heartbreak, and hope that continues to resonate with audiences today.
