A woman sitting in front of a river looking down at a leaf in her hand. She is wearing a skirt and top that look like they're possibly from the 1950's and there is an empty mirror frame in front of her, framing her.

Based on the 1891 play by Frank Wedekind this coming-of-age rock musical with book and lyrics by Steven Sater and music by Duncan Sheik follows a group of teenagers as they navigate their way to adulthood while the adults in their lives turn a blind eye to their desire and desperate need for knowledge and compassion.

This musical contains mature subject matter.

Spring Awakening is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
