Spring Awakening started as a script written in Germany in 1891 by Frank Wedekind. The show follows a group of angst ridden German teens living in the late 19th century and going through a sexual “awakening,” the transition from childhood to adulthood and the ways in which that complicates and enriches their lives.

It was banned from the stage by German authorities for almost 100 years for being considered to risky and it wasn't until 1974 that it was performed in its uncensored English translation for the first time. From 1999 to 2008 it went from being a barely noticed idea at a workshop at La Jolla Playhouse, to an eight time Tony Award winner including the award for best musical in 2007.

The show is set to incredible rock music by Duncan Sheik (music) and Steven Sater (book and lyrics), and is candid about real themes that potentially anyone can relate to, love, sex, angst, curiosity, morality, repression, abuse, violence and suicide It's started a revolution and now on April 20, Spring Awakening will be coming to the Fisher Theater in Detroit for a 20 day run.
