The Tony Award-winning Spring Awakening, which just played its final performance on Broadway last night, Sunday January 18th, will receive its UK premiere at West London's Lyric Hammersmith with performances beginning January 23rd.
The young UK cast is led by Aneurin Barnard, Charlotte Wakefield and Iwan Rheon. Here we bring you exclusive pictures of the fresh new cast.
This fall marked the launch of the First National Touring Company, which premiered at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco and just completed an engagement in Los Angeles at the Ahmanson Theatre. The tour's upcoming schedule includes Tempe, AZ, Chicago, Boston, Tampa, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Washington, DC among many other stops and is currently booked through the end of 2009. International productions are set in 2009 Vienna, Toronto, Helsinki, and Seoul.
Spring Awakening broke barriers when it opened off Broadway at the Atlantic Theatre and then subsequently moved to Broadway and its home at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre.
The Lyric will also be presenting the Gecko's production of Nikolai Gogol's The Overcoat 3/20-4/11, dance piece Hang On, a collaboration of Theatre-Rites and award-winning aerialists Ockham's Razor 4/15-4/25 and finally Deepak Verma's musical adaptation of the classic novel Wuthering Heights re-set in India 4/29-5/23 2009.
