Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center (Simi Valley, CA)
Spring Awakening, the Broadway hit that won eight Tony Awards in 2007, including Best Musical, comes to Simi Valley. Based on the Expressionist play by Frank Wedekind that caused a scandal in 19th-century Germany, this bold yet poignant rock musical, with its acclaimed score by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater, follows a group of teenage friends as they cope with the agonies and ecstasies of discovering their sexuality in all its varieties. First written in 1871, the angst, emotion, desire and romance still ring true today, punctuated by the pulse-pounding modern rock score and passionate performances.
