Spring Awakening


Broadway’s most talked about new musical and the biggest Tony Award-winner in years is coming to The Buell Theatre, presented by Denver Center Attractions. 'Spring Awakening', the eight-time Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, plays a limited two week engagement December 1-13.

'Spring Awakening' swept the 2007 Tony Awards, winning eight out of its eleven nominations, including Best Musical, Best Director (Michael Mayer), Best Book (Steven Sater), Best Choreography (Bill T. Jones), Best Orchestrations (Duncan Sheik), Best Lighting Design (Kevin Adams) and Best Featured Actor (John Gallagher Jr.).

Set against the backdrop of a repressive and provincial late 19th century Germany, 'Spring Awakening' tells the timeless story of teenage self-discovery and budding sexuality as seen through the eyes of three teenagers.
