Written in 1890-91 by Frank Wedekind, Spring Awakening touches on child abuse, sexual abuse, masturbation, homosexuality, teen pregnancy, illegal abortion, and teen suicide. A play that my companion thought was a contemporary work examines a society that is not that different, in some ways, now than it was in the 19th century.
The cast, though young, was good. The singing was very good and very high energy; the musicians were excellent. The score, by Duncan Sheik, did not disappoint. The set was so well designed and the lighting was perfect.
Here's a link to one of the most lively songs.
I'll write some more tomorrow and post some more photos. Spring Awakening was most definitely a show worth seeing!
yours in music,
