Tony Award-Winning Musical Spring Awakening by Keegan Theatre

- $40.00
- Our Price:
- $20.00
Spring Awakening is an awesome rock musical and Broadway smash that won eight Tony Awards including Best Musical. Based on the Expressionist play that caused a scandal in 19th-century Germany, this poignant musical follows a group of teenagers as they navigate the confusing and often troubled waters of adolescence, complicated by their budding sexuality. Inspired by Frank Wedekind's controversial 1891 play, the musical's angst, emotion, desire and romance still ring true today, and its acclaimed score by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater turns this timeless story into a powerful coming-of-age rock musical. The Keegan Theatre's production is directed by two-time Helen Hayes nominees Susan Marie Rhea and Mark A. Rhea. Learn More

This is the first Irish-oriented play I've liked. The plot is plausible, The acting is low-key. The accents do not obliviate what's be9ng said. I'm glad I saw it.Written on Dec 09 2011

'An Irish Carol', from the Keegan Theatre, gets everyone in the 'spirit' with its jolly take on the classis Dickens' story. Using many of the actors (and the entire set?) of 'The Weir', this play tells the story of a grumpy Dublin pub owner who is annoyed by everyone. His friends and customers mean well, and our hero eventually finds the meaning of the season through the help of his brother and lost love. 'Carol' reveals that all of us can be a grinch at times, but with the support of others (and a few pints), one can rise above and enjoy life.Written on Dec 19 2011

Outstanding acting (all actors) and excellent playwriting. We had a few tears of laughter and a few bittersweet tears. The play will not disappoint. Perfect for the holiday season. Enjoy with someone special or just by yourself.Written on Dec 19 2011
