Spring Awakening is an electrifying journey through the trials and challenges of adolescence. The Tony Award-winning musical follows a group of teenagers as they explore the mysteries of sex, connection, and growing up. Juxtaposing the harsh, repressive world of 19th century rural Germany with an exhilarating contemporary pop-rock score, Spring Awakening is a poignant and thrilling ride that stings with resonance for anyone who has experienced the madness of being young.
Spring Awakening contains simulated sexual activity, depictions of physical abuse and suicide, and discussion of sexual violence. The show may not be appropriate for young children, and parental discretion is encouraged.
