The impetuous youth whirlwind pop spectacle Spring Awakening didn’t waste any time getting its performance rights into the hands of eager college theaters once the Broadway hit finally stopped touring. At least four Connecticut colleges have already announced plans to do Duncan Sheik and Steven Sate‘s modern-rock take on Frank Wedekind’s early 20th century “children’s tragedy” as their big school musical.
Trinity College is first up, with a fall production running Oct. 20-23.
Southern Ct. State University springs forward with the show March 2-11.
Connecticut Repertory Theatre joins in April 12-28.
Sacred Heart University’s goes up April 19-22.
Who needs Spring Break when you can have Spring A-Breakening?
