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

Of the plays I've seen by Keegan I'd have to say this wasn't one of the top ones. But, it was still captivating in its own way. The set was fantastic (as usual)! It really looked like a pub in a sleepy little Irish town. The stories each character told were a bit predictable and only two of them were remotely chilling. I don't know if that was because of the playwright or the delivery of the lines. Warning: there is a little bit of cigarette smoking on stage at two points in the play but the smoke doesn't linger and will probably only bother the really sensitive.Written on Mar 14 2011

If you love Irish accents and can take a frequent F bomb, it was very funny and a well written play. The set was fantastic too.Written on Mar 07 2011

The play started out slowly. Initially the accents were hard to understand but you quickly get acclimated. It was entertaining but not as scary as I thought it would be. The acting was decent. The older gentlemen were GREAT and younger man and woman made waaaay too many facial expressions while talking.Written on Feb 21 2011

Description
Featuring Kevin Adams, David Jourdan, Susan Marie Rhea, Mick Tinder, and Jon Townson
On a chilly night in a cozy Irish pub, four friends and one stranger form a redemptive circle of friendship through a round of conversation and storytelling.
The Keegan Theatre’s connection to Ireland and Irish theater is well recognized – since its founding, the company has produced more than 20 Irish works – and is highlighted by the company’s annual Ireland tour. “Anytime we approach an Irish play, our pulse quickens a bit,” says Mark Rhea. “Simply put: It’s our first and greatest love, and something that Keegan has a history of doing exceptionally well. Thanks to the annual tour to Ireland, we have a close relationship with Irish artists, and a deep, hands-on appreciation of Irish culture and history, as well as a familiarity and comfort level in approaching these plays.”
