Performing as Wendla

In German and English language with German and English surtitles

Spring Awakening is a powerful rock musical about growing up, generational conflict, and the turmoil of awakening sexuality. Winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and a Grammy, it redefined Broadway’s themes. Based on Frank Wedekind’s 1891 play Frühlings Erwachen, it criticizes social morality while exploring sexuality and repression. Wendla, Melchior, and Moritz face strict parents and teachers as well as unanswered questions about love and desire, with devastating results.

Based on Frank Wedekind’s 1891 play Spring Awakening, the rock musical explores societal morals while shedding light on sexuality and repression. Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik spent seven years developing their adaptation. Working closely with young people, they created a piece that approaches its themes with a fresh and diverse perspective. Because even though we like to think of ourselves as more enlightened today, adolescents still struggle with the many fears, worries, and challenges of growing up. The evocative songs delve into their doubts, fears and their longing for connection.
