SPRING AWAKENING
Music by Duncan Sheik, Book and Lyrics by Steven Sater
Directed by Candice Ingold
November 1 – November 29 Lincoln Center Magnolia Theatre
Winner of 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical!
“A fresh breeze of true inspiration – ambitious and alluring….” – The New York Times
An explosive celebration of youth and rebellion reveals a group of secondary school students on their passage through teenage self-discovery. Three friends, Wendla, Moritz, and Melchior explore their changing minds and bodies despite the wishes of elders and the pressures of a bourgeois society. Based on the controversial 1891 play by Frank Wedekind, this expressionistic rock musical exposes the thought-obliterating joys of sex, animalistic impulses toward violence, and the grappling desire to break free from social constrictions during the tempestuous years of adolescence.
