Spring Awakening – The Musical

About

There are some stories that remain current generation after generation. When the stage play of Spring Awakening was first produced in Germany in 1891 the references to masturbation, abortion, rape and suicide saw it banned. Fast forward 116 years and the musical adaptation scandalised audiences on Broadway. Yes, the behaviour of teenagers has been shocking people for hundreds of years.

This brave new musical … restores the mystery, the thrill and quite a bit of the terror to that shattering transformation that stirs in all our souls sometime around the age of 13.

ATYP and Spring Awakening share a long and intimate past. Many of our best-known alumni have appeared in productions in years gone by, including one of Australia’s most loved musical theatre performers Mitchell Butel. In 2015 we are delighted to welcome Mitchell back to ATYP’s main stage season, this time as director. This production will connect generations of ATYP members like never before.

Let’s see whether audiences in 2016 are still appalled by the revelation that teenagers spend an awful lot of time thinking about sex!

An electrifying fusion of rebellion, sexual awakening and rock and roll.
