CCM Musical Theatre Presents Spring Awakening 2/2-4

The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) will present the award-winning Spring Awakening as the next installment in its 2011-2012 Studio Musical Theatre Series. The musical runs Feb. 2 – 4 in the Cohen Family Studio Theater and promises to push the envelope as a stirring production of this celebrated rock musical.

Adapted from Frank Wedekind’s 1891 play with music by Duncan Sheik and book and lyrics by Steven Sater, Spring Awakening celebrates the journey from youth to adulthood with power, poignancy and unforgettable passion. Following the tumultuous period of adolescent self-discovery of a group of German teenagers, this coming-of-age story is a powerful presentation of the trials, tears and exhilaration of the teen years.

Spring Awakening was nominated for eleven Tony Awards in 2007, and ultimately won eight, including best musical. It was named the best musical of the year by the New York Times, New York Post, New York Observer and USA Today. CCM’s production of Spring Awakening is directed by Steven Goldstein, with musical direction by Roger Grodsky and choreography by Diane Lala.

Note: This production features adult themes and situations and is intended for mature audiences.
