About Spring Awakening
Spring Awakening premiered Off-Broadway at the Atlantic Theatre Company on May 19th, 2006 and closed August 17th, 2006. The show transferred to Broadway at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre, where it opened on December 10th, 2006 to mostly rave reviews.
The musical, based on the controversial play by Frank Wedekind, features music by Duncan Sheik and book/lyrics by Steven Sater. The show is directed by Michael Mayer and choreographed by Bill T. Jones.
The main plot of Spring Awakening takes place through spoken dialogue. These spoken scenes are punctuated by songs, in musical styles including rock, folk, and pop, where characters break away from the setting of the show to express their frustrations, motivations, and desires directly to the audience rather than to each other.
