Olivier-Winning SPRING AWAKENING to Get West End Revival?
Following Sunday night's Olivier Awards, a rush of Tweets wondered if Spring Awakening might be revived due to its success. Its two Welsh leads, Aneurin Barnard and Iwan Rheon, received a double win as Best Actor in a Musical and Best Supporting Performance in a Musical respectively.

Breathlessly running towards the check in at London Airport actor and producer Tom Hulce had promised to let Broadway World know FIRST what happening backstage at London's Lyric theatre as it gearings up for the UK premiere of 'Spring Awakening'.
