Frank J. Avella's Review
Atlantic Theater Company in association with
Tom Hulce and Ira Pittelman, presents the
world premiere production of the new musical
Spring Awakening, featuring music by Grammy
Award nominee Duncan Sheik ("Barely Breathing"),
book and lyrics by Steven Sater (Carbondale
Dreams), choreography by Bill T. Jones (The
Seven) and direction by Tony Award nominee
Michael Mayer (Thoroughly Modern Millie).
Based on Frank Wedekind's masterpiece The
Awakening of Spring, Spring Awakening is the
contemporary musical adaptation of one of
literature's most controversial plays. Spring
Awakening boldly depicts a dozen young people
and how they make their way through the thrilling,
complicated, confusing, and mysterious time
of their sexual awakening. Duncan Sheik and
Steven Sater's score feature songs that illuminate
the urgency of adolescent self-discovery,
the burning intensity of teen friendships
and the innate suspicion of the uncomprehending
adult world. The story centers around a brilliant
young student named Melchior, his troubled
friend Moritz, and Wendla, a beautiful young
girl on the verge of womanhood.
