This celebration of rebellion featuring a pop rock score, the winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, told by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater through what Entertainment Weekly called, “the most gorgeous Broadway score this decade,” Spring Awakening explores the journey from adolescence to adulthood with a poignancy and passion that is illuminating and unforgettable. The landmark musical is an electrifying fusion of morality, sexuality and rock and roll that is exhilarating audiences across the nation like no other musical in years. Join this group of late nineteenth century German students on their passage as the navigate teenage self-discovery and coming of age anxiety in a powerful celebration of youth and rebellion in the daring, remarkable Spring Awakening.
Created in 2017, Broken Leg Productions (BLP) takes its name from the age-old theatrical saying, “Break a leg!” Broken Leg Productions is the result of Artistic Director Adam Schuler’s desire to continue to produce high-quality theatrical productions in unique ways. We strive to use theatre and education to make a real difference in people of all ages in the North Shore area.
BLP has had a full summer of theatre producing four shows: In July BLP performed “CHICAGO: High School Edition,” and “James and the Giant Peach JR.” Last weekend they performed “Aladdin JR”. See our website to learn more brokenlegproductions.com.
