SPRING AWAKENING THE MUSICAL

Set in a small 19th century German town, Melchior (Zachary Taylor), Wendla (Kristin Foreman-Spence), Moritz (Michael Anderson) and the rest of their classmates begin to experience changes that confuse and fascinate them, but coming from a society where discussions regarding sex, fantasy, homosexuality, abuse and alike are deeply frowned upon, the students are confronted with the struggle of dealing with these changes without guidance. The blended sound of both rock and roll and folk music heighten the stakes to make this show a theatrical experience like no other.

Winner of eight Tony awards, including Best Musical, Best Book, Best Original Score, Best Choreography, and Best Director, Spring Awakening is hailed for its bold vision and efforts to blaze a new path for the musical form.

The music is unmistakable. Sheiks dreamy melodies seem unstructured by conventional musical theater standards, and Saters lyrics can tend toward the arcane. But theres a cracked poetry in evidence that fits the material and the painful introspectiveness of adolescence, making the shows youthful spirit feel sincere and heartfelt. Variety (June 2006)
