Emotional, poignant, and surprising, Spring Awakening is the rock musical that electrified Broadway and won eight Tony Awards. Based on Frank Wedekind’s once-banned 1891 play, this coming-of-age story follows a group of teens in a repressive 19th-century German town as they wrestle with first love, sexual awakening, and the consequences of a world that refuses to give them answers. Duncan Sheik’s alternative rock score transforms their secret thoughts and hidden longings into anthems by turns intimate, rebellious, and heart-wrenching. With its fusion of period setting and modern music, Spring Awakening speaks directly to today’s audiences, capturing the thrilling, terrifying intensity of growing up. For anyone who’s ever felt unheard, or dared to find their own voice, this is a show you can’t miss.
