Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik’s rock score and searingly emotional book take the story of sexual awakening, youth revolt and self-discovery into a new century. Headstrong Melchior and naive Wendla stumble into each other’s arms, passionate and curious, while anxious Moritz struggles to live up to the stringent expectations of society. With only each other for guidance, this group of young men and women travel the fraught and rocky path of adolescence, discovering their bodies, their minds and themselves along the way. An electric, vibrant celebration of youth and rebellion that packs an emotional punch.
Spring Awakening is rated R and contains sexual situations, explicit language and scenes depicting violence and suicide. Audience members under the age of 16 are strongly recommended to attend with a trusted adult.
