Set in late 19th century Germany, the musical is inspired by the play of the same name written in 1891 by Frank Wedekind. The musical touches on issues of abortion, homosexuality, rape, child abuse and suicide.
“Spring Awakening reveals the teenage exploration of sexuality and the frustration due to the oppression from adults in their lives,” said Holly Logue, acting dean of Kean’s College of Visual and Performing Arts and director of the production.
