It's easy to see why Spring Awakening snagged eight Tony Awards last year, marking what has been heralded as the new direction of musical theatre. With an alluring emo-tinged rock score penned by Duncan Sheik and pop-tinged neo-Brechtian staging, the sizzling adaptation of Frank Wedekind's once-scandalous play is rife with themes of adolescent sexual joy and repression. The young cast delivers an amped-up, sexed-up rock-n-roll vibe, with the whole night taking you back to those bygone days of confused, pent-up, raging, and wonderfully intoxicating hormones.
