Synopsis:

The groundbreaking rock musical about teenage sexuality, with book and lyrics by Steven Sater and music by Duncan Sheik.

Best New Musical, Olivier Awards Peter Hepple Award for Best Musical, Critics Circle Awards.

In a world where the grown-ups hold all the cards, three school friends experience the exhilarating, turbulent journey into adulthood.

Spring Awakening is inspired by Frank Wedekind's controversial 1891 play about teenage sexuality and society's efforts to control it, the piece seamlessly merges past and present, underscoring the timelessness of adolescent angst and the universality of human passion.

About the Author: Steven Sater plays include the long-running "Carbondale Dreams," "Perfect for You," "Doll" (Rosenthal Prize, Cincinnati Playhouse), "Umbrage" (Steppenwolf New Play Prize), "A Footnote to the Iliad" (New York Stage and Film, The Miniature Theatre of Chester), "In Search of Lost Wings" (Sanford Meisner) and a reconceived version of Shakespeare's "The Tempest," which played London's Lyric Hammersmith. Grammy award nominated singer-songwriter Duncan Sheik collaborated with playwright Steven Sater on "The Nightingale," a musical based on the Hans Christian Andersen classic which premiered at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center. Sheik has composed original music for the Public Theatre's Shakespeare in the Park production of "Twelfth Night" and for "The Golden Rooms of Nero."
