With eight Tony Awards and featuring "the most gorgeous Broadway score this decade" according to Entertainment Weekly, this lush musical is a celebration of youth and self-discovery that combines classic text and rock 'n' roll. Based on the 1871 play by Frank Wedekind that caused scandal when it premiered in Germany, Steven Sater (book) and Duncan Sheik's (music) Spring Awakening follows a group of 19th-century German teens as they grapple with sexuality, morality and rebellion in a world of unresponsive adults. As timely today as it was shocking in the 1800s, it deals with issues such as teen suicide, sexual abuse and botched abortions. A hit with audiences worldwide, Spring Awakening explodes the boundaries of musical theater to reveal the touching and passionate journey of growing up. Geoff Button directs.

It was a raw depiction with some nudity, a suicide and some gestures of masturbation. The sexuality of teens in Germany is explored. The music was top-notch, almost as good as professionals. This is a college after all and the effort was commendable. However, it could have been toned down a notch to make it more realistic.Written on Feb 28 2012
