About the Book

The groundbreaking rock musical about teenage sexuality, with book and lyrics by Steven Sater and music by Duncan Sheik. In a world where the grown-ups hold all the cards, three school friends experience the exhilarating, turbulent journey into adulthood. Spring Awakening is inspired by Frank Wedekind's controversial 1891 play about teenage sexuality and society's efforts to control it. The musical was premiered on Broadway at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in December 2006, following various workshops, concerts, rewrites and its Off-Broadway debut. It won eight Tony Awards, including Tonys for Best Musical, Direction, Book, Score and Featured Actor. It was premiered in the UK at the Lyric Hammersmith in January 2009, transferring to the Novello Theatre in the West End in March 2009. It won Best New Musical at the Olivier Awards and Best Musical at the Critics' Circle Awards. This new edition is published alongside the revival at the Almeida Theatre, London, in December 2021. 'Here it is at last, the answer to one's prayers - a new musical, bursting with ambition and achievement... It's a blast' — Telegraph 'An absolute must-see and by far the best new musical in London for ages' — Whatsonstage.com 'Truly groundbreaking musical, unmatched by anything in the theatre today' — New York Times 'The best musical in a generation' — New York Observer

Review :
'Here it is at last, the answer to one's prayers - a new musical, bursting with ambition and achievement... It's a blast' 'An absolute must-see and by far the best new musical in London for ages' 'With a ravishing rock score by Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik, this brave new musical, haunting and electrifying by turns, restores the mystery, the thrill to that shattering transformation that stirs in all our souls, some time around the age of thirteen' 'Once in a generation, if we're lucky, an unexpected new musical comes along and changes everything. That is the thrilling achievement of Spring Awakening' 'Filled with powerful and poetic intelligence! The awakening here is not just to sexuality but to musical storytelling' 'A show that bristles with rawness, vitality and urgency. Sater's book and lyrics seem to capture from within the uniquely teenage feeling that every emotion is the most tempestuous, frightening, passionate or exciting one ever experienced' 'Exquisite... a musical masterpiece... I was blown away by [it]... dark and sophisticated... feels raw and dangerous and honest in a way few musicals really are... pure poetry, a howl of adolescent rage that sings like an angel, a teenage riot that floors you with its beauty' 'A tidal wave of surging adolescent hormones... feels powerfully current' 'An explosion of anarchic energy and pent-up frustration... throbs with passion and ingenuity... thrilling' 'A triumph, a piercing beam of light into the way that the adult world simultaneously ignores and suppresses young people... the themes of the piece speak with loud contemporary clarity... devastating... punchy and lyrically expressive... a triumphant achievement' 'Probably the best thing I've seen this year: it moves me; it chokes me; it thrills me'
