SPRING AWAKENING
Winner of 8 Tony Awards®
– including BEST MUSICAL —
On the Mainstage at Proctors
Feb 16 – 21
“An unexpected jolt of sudden genius!”
Clive Barnes, New York Post
Broadway’s most talked about new musical and the biggest Tony Award®-winner in years is coming to Proctors. Spring Awakening, the 8-time Tony Award® winning Broadway musical, will play February 16 – 21. Spring Awakening at Proctors is part of the Key Private Bank Broadway series and is also sponsored by Silhouette Eye Studio.
Spring Awakening swept the 2007 Tony Awards® winning eight out of its eleven nominations, including Best Musical, Best Director (Michael
Mayer), Best Book (Steven Sater), Best Choreography (Bill T. Jones),
Best Orchestrations (Duncan Sheik), Best Lighting Design (Kevin
Adams), Best Featured Actor (John Gallagher Jr.).
Hailed as the “Best Musical of the Year” by the NY Drama Critics
Circle, the Drama Desk, the Outer Critics Circle and the Tony Awards®, Spring Awakening has emerged as the most talked about new musical on Broadway.
Based on the infamous 1891 Frank Wedekind play, Spring Awakening
features an electrifying score by Duncan Sheik, book and lyrics Steven Sater, direction by Michael Mayer and choreography by the award-
winning Bill T. Jones.
Set against the backdrop of a repressive and provincial late 19th
century Germany, Spring Awakening tells the timeless story of teenage self-discovery and budding sexuality as seen through the eyes of three teenagers. Haunting and provocative, Spring Awakening celebrates an unforgettable journey from youth to adulthood with a power, a
poignancy and a passion you will never forget. Spring Awakening
contains mature themes, sexual situations and strong language.
Set design is by Christine Jones, costume design is by Tony Award-
winner Susan Hilferty, lighting design by Tony Award-winner Kevin
Adams and sound design by Brian Ronan.
Spring Awakening opened on Broadway on December 10, 2006 at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre, following its world premiere at the Atlantic Theatre Co. The original cast recording of Spring Awakening won the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. Spring Awakening is produced by Ira Pittelman, Tom Hulce, Jeffrey Richards, Jerry Frankel and the Atlantic Theatre Co.
