El Portal Theatre (North Hollywood, CA)
Spring Awakening took Broadway by storm when it debuted, winning eight Tony Awards including Best Musical. Punctuated by an electrifying and hauntingly beautiful rock score co-written by “Barely Breathing” pop mastermind Duncan Sheik, Spring Awakening follows a group of teenagers as they navigate the confusing and often troubled waters of adolescence and their budding sexuality. Based on an expressionist play that caused a scandal in 19th-century Germany, it’s a bold and touching musical that captures the timeless and turbulent experience of youth transitioning to adulthood. The characters grapple with issues like teen suicide, pregnancy and identity — tough topics that remain as relevant as ever.
