An Awakening of Spring and Spirit
By VILONA TRACHTENBERG and VANESSA FRITH | Apr. 4, 2011Spring Awakening is truly an awakening for its characters and for the audience, adding a modern-day twist to a strict German society in the 1890s. Originally written as a play in 1891 by Frank Wedekind, Spring Awakening was revived as a musical by Duncan Sheik (music) and Steven Sater (book and lyrics) when it hit Broadway in 2006.
