Based on the groundbreaking and controversial play of the same name, SPRING AWAKENING follows the story of sexual awakening, self-discovery, and youthful revolt through the eyes of a group of teenagers in 1891 Germany. The adults have all the answers. Headstrong Melchior and naïve Wendla have fallen into each other’s paths, and arms, with passion, tenderness, and curiosity. Their friend Moritz is struggling to live up to the strict expectations of their society, with only each for guidance, these young men and women must travel the confusing, and frequently terrifying, path of adolescence – discovering their bodies, their minds, and themselves along the way.
SPRING AWAKENING is a vibrant celebration of youth and rebellion, bringing together the issues of morality and sexuality and rock and roll into an emotional powerhouse of a show.
