Broadway San Jose presents the Tony Award-winning Best Musical SPRING AWAKENING, a fusion of morality and rock & roll set against the backdrop of a repressive and provincial 19^th century Germany. Winner of 8 Tony Awards, SPRING AWAKENING depicts the unforgettable journey from youth to adulthood with power, poignancy, and unforgettable passion. The New York Times declared the show “haunting and electrifying. This brave new musical has a shivery sensual allure unmatched by anything in the theatre right now.”
