"Centering around a group of high school students in 1890s Germany, the Tony-winning pop-rock musical Spring Awakening tackles issues that continue to impact young adults today, including sexual awakening and teen suicide. With direction that provides a rich clarity and connection with the material, and featuring an age-appropriate cast of teenagers who excel in portraying the young adults as they navigate the harsh realities of life, Scottsdale Desert Stages Theatre's production of this mature musical is outstanding. The authenticity and raw talent of the cast add powerful depth to the characters' coming of age struggles which, making this production extremely compelling and profoundly relevant....Co-directors Mark and Lynzee 4man bring a fresh perspective to the production, opting not to model their efforts on the highly regarded original Broadway production. Instead, they introduce original touches while eliciting realistic, heartfelt, and nuanced performances from their young cast. The show's adult content and profanity is treated respectfully and always presented with authenticity. " - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
