Spring Awakening Comes to the Van Wezel 3/20
Spring Awakening will make its Sarasota premiere on Sunday, March 20 at 7 p.m., featuring "the most gorgeous Broadway score this decade..."-Entertainment Weekly
Based on the 1891 Frank Wedekind play, the landmark musical is a stirring combination of sexuality, morality and rock & roll that is captivating audiences across the nation like no other musical in years. Spring Awakening features an award-winning and evocative story with a score by Duncan Sheik, book and lyrics by Steven Sater. Set against the backdrop of repressive and provincial late 19th century Germany, Spring Awakening follows a group of young students as they navigate through teenage self-discovery and coming of age anxiety. A powerful celebration of youth and rebellion the New York Times raves, "Broadway may never be the same." The Broadway production opened on December 10, 2006 at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre. The original cast recording of Spring Awakening won the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. Originally produced by Ira Pittelman, Tom Hulce, Jeffrey Richards, Jerry Frankel and the Atlantic Theatre Co., the 2010 - 2011 National Tour of Spring Awakening is produced by NETworks Presentations, LLC.
Spring Awakening contains mature themes, sexual situations and strong language.
