Spring Awakening is a rock musical adaptation of the controversial 1891 German play of the same title by
Frank Wedekind. It features music by
Duncan Sheik and a book and lyrics by
Steven Sater. Set in late 19th century Germany, it concerns teenagers who are discovering the inner and outer tumult of sexuality. The original play was banned for some time due to it's portrayal of abortion, homosexuality, rape, child abuse and teen suicide. In the musical, alternative rock is employes as part of the folk infused rock score. Spring Awakening received eleven Tony Award nominations, winning eight including Tony's for best musical, direction, book, score and featured actor. The show also won four Drama Desk Awards while its London production won four Olivier Awards.
