Spring Awakening

Show Description:

Based on the controversial 1891 German play, this explosive rock musical tells the story of a group of teenagers in late 19th-century Germany as they navigate their sexual awakenings in a society that provides no guidance. Headstrong Melchior and innocent Wendla stumble into a passionate romance, while Melchior's friend Moritz struggles with academic failure and his own budding desires. Fusing a contemporary rock score with a classic story of adolescent angst and rebellion, the eight-time Tony Award winner is a powerful and emotional journey that explores themes of ignorance, desire, abuse, and the tragic consequences of silence.
