Roxy Regional Theatre Begins SPRING AWAKENING Performances, 4/13

The Roxy Regional Theatre opens SPRING AWAKENING on Friday, April 13, at 8pm.

 

Winner of 8 Tony Awards including "Best Musical," SPRING AWAKENING celebrates "the unforgettable journey from youth to adulthood with a power, poignancy and passion that you will never forget."

 

Set in a socially and sexually repressive village in 19th century Germany, this coming of age story follows teenagers Melchior (Matt DuMont), Wendla (Hannah Church), and Moritz (Gregory Pember*) on their journeys of self-discovery.  Also featured are Melanie Beck, Josh Bernaski, Ryan Bowie, Regan Featherstone, Humberto Figueroa, Leslie Greene, Erin Keas, Ashley Laverty, John McDonald, Hollie Morse, Sean Ormond, Rob Rodems, Cassie Thompson and Kendall Anne Thompson.

 

With book and lyrics by Steven Sater and music by Duncan Sheik (known for his 1996 radio hit "Barely Breathing"), SPRING AWAKENING is directed and choreographed by Tom Thayer and features Thayer on piano, alongside Vicki King and Wayne Wyman on strings, Bruce Ervin on bass, Thad Wallus on drums and Jarrod Jackson on guitar.

 

This production contains strong language, sexual situations and subject matter not appropriate for all audiences.
