Winner of 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Spring Awakening is a rock musical adaptation of Frank Wedekind's 1891 expressionist play about the trials and tribulations, and the exhilaration of the teen years. Spring Awakening takes its inspiration from one of literature's most controversial masterpieces – a work so daring in its depiction of teenage self-discovery, it was banned from the stage and not performed in its complete form in English for nearly 100 years.
"Broadway may never be the same. This brave new musical, haunting and electrifying by turns, restores the mystery and the thrill to that shattering transformation that stirs in
all of our souls."
--Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
"A miracle that must be seen to be believed
. . . The best new musical in a generation."
--John Heilpern, The New York Observer
"An unexpected jolt of sudden genius!"
--Clive Barnes, New York Post
