By: Tyler Peterson May. 25, 2013
The Eklektix Theatre Company will present a 2-night-only concert staging of the Tony Award-winning Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater rock musical Spring Awakening on May 31 and June 1, 2013 at Houston's Barnevelder Movement Arts Center, 2201 Preston St. Check out a behind-the-scenes look at the cast's first rehearsal below!
The musical is based on the controversial German play (Frühlings Erwachen) Spring Awakening (1891) by Frank Wedekind. It was banned in Germany for some time due to its frank portrayal of abortion, homosexuality, rape, child abuse and suicide. Set in late-19th century Germany, the musical tells the story of teenagers discovering the inner and outer tumult of sexuality. In the musical, alternative rock is employed as part of the folk-infused rock score.
Cast members include: Devin Whitten, Micheal Lovette, Jacob Kirchoff, Sarah Patterson, Kyle Crawford, Brian Kay, Josh Ochoa, John Forgy, Laurel Smalley, Libby Hart, Melissa Brown, MaryAnn Williams, Stephan Little, Jake Bevill and Robert Pimentel. The creative are Director/ Choreographer by: Bryan-Keyth Wilson, Asst. Director Bobby Hewitt, Music Director Eduardo Guzman and Stage Manager Tomas Torres. This summer you can also catch productions of Richard O'Brien's Rocky Horror Show and RENT, the rock musical that changed a generation.
