Book and lyrics by Steven Sater, music by Duncan Sheik. Spring Awakening is an eight time Tony Award winning musical that was adapted from Frank Wedekind’s late 1891 play “Frühlings Erwachen,” which translates to “A Children’s Tragedy.” Wedekind’s work challenged German society to the point of the play being considered scandalous, outright obscene, and ultimately banned. Wedekind refused to be silenced and decided to publish the play himself in 1891. It received its first fully staged German production in 1906 and its English translated American production in 1917. Fast forward about 100 years from Wedekind’s original piece, the play has been reinterpreted as a musical with the same setting as the original but it is juxtaposed by contemporary pop/rock music sung by the teenage characters as a way to call out to be heard.
