Spring Awakening

Spring Awakening
Book & Lyrics by Steven Sater, Music by Duncan Sheik
May 2 – 18
Director David Button | Choreographer Ben Bogen | Music Director James Weber

In every era, there comes a moment when the next generation changes the narrative, rips away the mistakes of the past, and tries to build a new future on their own terms. When rock and roll icon and Grammy Award winning musician Duncan Sheik adapted Spring Awakening into a groundbreaking musical in 2006, he created the Hair of a new generation – a powerful celebration of youth, rebellion, and teenage self-discovery. The story may be set in late 19th century Germany, but with its searing ballads and its high energy score, Spring Awakening’s exploration of desire among a group of young people who have been suppressed, oppressed, and dangerously repressed is as powerful and resonant now as ever.
