    Book & Lyrics by Steven Sater

    Music by Duncan Sheik

    Based on the play by Frank Wedekind


    SPRING AWAKENING takes its inspiration from one of literature's most controversial masterpieces - a work so daring in its depiction of teenage self-discovery, it was banned from the stage and not performed in its complete form in English for nearly 100 years. Adapted by Stephen Sater, with music by Duncan Sheik, it opened on Broadway at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on December 10, 2006, winning eight Tonys, four Drama Desk Awards, and four Olivier Awards. The Melodramatics production will be the regional premiere of this controversial, award-winning show.
