Spring Awakening
Spring Awakening is a raw, explosive coming-of-age musical that cuts straight to the heart of youth, desire, repression and rebellion. Set in 1890s Germany, it follows a group of young people navigating sex, love and identity in a society that refuses to educate or protect them.
With a raw, modern score by Duncan Sheik and a book by Steven Sater, Spring Awakening blends historical setting with urgent, present-day relevance. Since its premiere, Spring Awakening has become a defining work of contemporary musical theatre, winning 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
Marking 20 years since its original Off-Broadway premiere, this new production from Inspired By Theatre draws on German Expressionism and folkloric imagery, brought to life by a powerful cast and live band, with actor-musicians at the heart of this distinctive staging.
From the company behind York-based productions of American Idiot, RENT and Jesus Christ Superstar, this production is led by an award-winning creative team, known for reimagining iconic works.
Direct, unflinching and deeply relevant, Spring Awakening is a musical that still shocks, still resonates, and still matters.
