Spring Awakening at BU Friday


A new entry in the Rock Opera category is coming to BU Friday, April 8.

Music is by Grammy Award-winners Duncan Sheik (Barely Breathing) and Steven Sater. The show has won a cool eight Tony Awards, including 2007 musical of the year. The show, inspired by Frank Wedekind’s play that was banned for 100 years in Germany, remains controversial for its honest depiction of the issues of adolescence, including sexuality, independence and the fear of not measuring up. If you have children, call a sitter, this one's not for the kids. There will be a gallery talk an hour before curtain. Tickets are $30, the upper end of Celebrity Artist Series shows ... a fantastic bargain by Broadway standards.
