Spring Awakening at Broadway Performance Hall

Chandelier Productions teams up with Peace for the Streets by Kids from the Streets (PSKS), August 21st-29th at Broadway Performance Hall on Capitol Hill to deliver a two-weekend run of the Tony Award winning rock musical, Spring Awakening. Unflinching in its candor, see Chandelier Productions raw take on this groundbreaking musical before it makes it triumphant return to Broadway in the Fall. Backed by a live rock n’ roll band, these are the kids your grandparents warned you about. Spring Awakening transports the audience back in time to buttoned-up provincial Germany in the 1890s. Based on Frank Wedekind's controversial 1891 expressionist play and featuring an electrifying score, Spring Awakening follows the lives of a group of teens as they navigate their journey from adolescence to adulthood in a fusion of morality, sexuality, and rock & roll. Winner of 8 Tony Awards - including Best Musical, Spring Awakening is “beautiful, messy, exhilarating, awkward, and vital” (USA Today). “This brave new musical, haunting and electrifying by turns, restores the mystery, the thrill and quite a bit of the terror to that shattering transformation that stirs in all our souls sometime around the age of 13” (The New York Times).
