A group of teenagers – silenced and controlled by a censorious society – discover a new world of feeling and freedom outside the classroom. The consequences are beautiful and devastating. Spring Awakening explores ‘the b*tch of living’ for young people denied knowledge, power, and autonomy. Winner of the Tony and Olivier awards for Best Musical, Spring Awakening tells a story of adolescent anarchy, set to one of the most loved scores of the 21st century. Featuring UNITEC’s graduating actors, it is a poignant and thrilling ride that stings with resonance for today’s world.
