It’s Germany, 1891. The beautiful young Wendla explores her body and asks her mother where babies come from. Elsewhere, the brilliant and fearless young Melchior defends his buddy Moritz, a boy so traumatized by puberty he can’t concentrate on anything. One afternoon in the woods, Wendla and Melchior discover a desire unlike anything they’ve ever felt.
Spring Awakening, winner of 8 Tony Awards, celebrates the unforgettable journey from youth to adulthood with a power, poignancy and passion that you will never forget.
***Please be advised there is strong language and sexual situations***
