It’s Germany, 1891. The beautiful young Wendla, the fearless Melchior, and the confused Moritz try to figure out and discover their bodies and themselves in a time where human exploration was deemed a sin. Winner of 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, SPRING AWAKENING is a rock musical adaptation of Frank Wedekind’s 1891 banned expressionist play that celebrates the unforgettable journey from youth to adulthood with a power, poignancy, and passion that you will never forget.
