Preview of “Spring Awakening” at CT Theatre Company

Connecticut Theatre Company is proud to present “Spring Awakening” running March 17th through April 2nd at the Repertory Theatre in New Britain.

“Spring Awakening” explores the journey from adolescence to adulthood with a poignancy and passion that is illuminating and unforgettable. The landmark musical is an electrifying fusion of morality, sexuality, and rock and roll that has been exhilarating audiences across the nation like no other musical in years.

This musical comes to Connecticut Theatre Company as the winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and is told by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater through what Entertainment Weekly called, “the most gorgeous Broadway score this decade.”
Resident choreographer, Kim Saltzman, infuses the show with modern dance choreography you won’t want to miss.

The cast consists of gifted performers residing in Connecticut and Massachusetts. The upcoming production’s cast has been selected as follows:

Javen Levesque (Portland, CT) as Moritz Steifel; Galen Donovan (Salem, CT) as Melchior Gabor; Kevin Kiley (Stratford, CT) as Georg Zirschnitz and Dieter; Greg Mahoney (Springfield, MA) as Hanschen Rilow and Rupert; Tiernan Shea (Niantic, CT) as Otto Lammermeier and Ulbrecht; Maxwell Dittmar (Hartford, CT) as Ernst Robel and Reinhold; Montana Telman (Wallingford) as Wendla Berman; Kerrie Maguire (Middletown, CT) as Ilse Neumann; Krystina Diaz (Meriden, CT) as Martha Bessell; Faith Fernandes (Stratford, CT) as Anna; Sarah Ford (Plainville, CT) as Thea; Stephen Maher (Bloomfield, CT) as Adult Men; and Cindy Maher (Bloomfield, CT) as Adult Women.

Executive Director, Duane Campbell, states “Spring Awakening is an important show that gives a voice to individuals that don’t always have that voice. It’s talking about things that we as a society hide away because it’s uncomfortable. That silence is a detriment to us all.”

Please note that this musical deals with difficult subject matter, including abuse and trauma, and may not be suitable for all audiences.
