The scenic and lighting designers of the Broadway musical Spring Awakening will appear at the Apple Store in Soho Jan. 23 at 6:30 PM as part of the store's "Made on a Mac" series.
Spring Awakening returns to the store after Duncan Sheik, the composer, and cast members appeared December 13th. The designers participating are Christine Jones (scenic designer), Edward Coco (associate scenic designer) and Kevin Adams (lighting designer).
Spring Awakening, previously a hit at the Atlantic Theater Company, opened at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on December 10th. It features music by Sheik("Barely Breathing"), and book and lyrics by Sater (Carbondale Dreams). The entire youth ensemble is reprising their original roles: skylar astin (Georg), Lilli Cooper (Martha), John Gallagher Jr. (Moritz), Gideon Glick (Ernst), Jonathan Groff (Melchior), Brian Johnson (Otto), Lea Michele (Wendla), Lauren Pritchard (Ilse), Phoebe Strole (Anna), Jonathan B.

"Based on Frank Wedekind's 1891 masterpiece "The Awakening of Spring," Spring Awakening is the contemporary musical adaptation of one of literature's most controversial plays," according to press notes. The show "boldly depicts a dozen young people and how they make their way through the thrilling, complicated, confusing and mysterious time of their sexual awakening. Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater's score feature songs that illuminate the urgency of adolescent self-discovery, the burning intensity of teen friendships and the innate suspicion of the uncomprehending adult world."The Apple Store in Soho is located at 103 Prince Street in Manhattan. Spring Awakening is part of the "Made on A Mac" series January 23rd at 6:30 PM. Visit www.springawakening.com for more information.
