Winner of 8 TONY® Awards, Spring Awakening examines the unbridled energy that ignites the journey from youth to adulthood. Based on the 1892 Frank Wedikind play – banned in Germany for two decades after its publication – and featuring an explosive indie-rock and folk-infused score by Grammy® Award winner Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater, this powerful musical journey follows a group of German teenagers as they endure the tumult of discovering their sexuality, including homosexuality, child abuse and suicide. Not for the faint at heart, this groundbreaking musical is one you don’t want to miss. Experience the power of Spring Awakening, part of Broadway at the November, this summer with Virginia Rep!
Contains strong language, sexual situations, and partial nudity. Suggested for ages 16+.
