Spring Awakening

Overview

Are you in the mood for a tantalising show with a bit of coarse language, adult themes, sexual references and partial nudity? If so, you’re in luck because the latest show to grace QPAC comes with the above warning label. Spring Awakening may have been doing the rounds for many years now, but its long standing history only proves its doing something right. Oh, and I guess you could also say the eight Tony Awards (including Best Musical) the play has won also prove that.

The storyline appears to sound exactly like your standard coming of age saga, with promises of 19^th century German youth, self-discovery and rebellion filling the script. However, no matter how cliché and played out the narrative may appear to be, how often is it that you can see such a story acted and sung out live, right in front of you?

The production is run and cast by a group of talented Brisbane-ites, including director Emily Gilhome and musical director David Law. Take this opportunity to see a worldwide hit presented by our own people and it will not disappoint – after all, it has a warning label!
