SYNOPSIS
The winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, told by
Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater through what Entertainment Weekly
called, "the most gorgeous Broadway score this decade," Spring
Awakening explores the journey from adolescence to adulthood with a
poignancy and passion that is illuminating and unforgettable. The
landmark musical is an electrifying fusion of morality, sexuality and
rock and roll that is exhilarating audiences across the nation like no
other musical in years.
It is Germany, 1891, a world where the grown-ups hold all the cards.
The beautiful young Wendla explores the mysteries of her body and
wonders aloud where babies come from... until Mama tells her to shut
it and put on a proper dress. Elsewhere, the brilliant and fearless
young Melchior interrupts a mind-numbing Latin drill to defend his
buddy, Moritz – a boy so traumatized by puberty that he can't
concentrate on anything... not that the Headmaster cares. He strikes
them both and tells them to turn in their lesson. One afternoon, in a
private place in the woods, Melchior and Wendla meet by accident and
soon find within themselves a desire unlike anything they've ever
felt. As they fumble their way into one another's arms, Moritz
flounders and soon fails out of school. When even his one adult
friend, Melchior's mother, ignores his plea for help, he is left so
distraught that he can't hear the promise of life offered by his
outcast friend, Ilse. Naturally, the Headmasters waste no time in
pinning the "crime" of Moritz's suicide on Melchior to expel him. And
soon, Mama learns that her little Wendla is pregnant. Now the young
lovers must struggle against all odds to build a world together for
their child.
This celebration of rebellion provides the perfect opportunity to
feature performers of all types, as well as the creative flexibility
with the use of costumes, set pieces and lighting. Featuring a pop
rock score, this is an ideal show for talented vocalists with strong
acting abilities. Join this group of late nineteenth century German
students on their passage as the navigate teenage self-discovery and
coming of age anxiety in a powerful celebration of youth and rebellion
in the daring, remarkable Spring Awakening.
