Discover the power of youth, truth, and rebellion as 'Spring Awakening The Musical' takes the stage from Feb. 13 to March 22, 2026, at The Black Box at Proscenium at Rockwell. Winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, this groundbreaking rock musical features an unforgettable score by Duncan Sheik with book and lyrics by Steven Sater, blending alternative rock with deeply emotional storytelling.
