Raw and Relevant: Sylvaine Strike’s Powerful Production of Spring Awakening – Review

Spring Awakening, directed by Sylvaine Strike, is a raw and powerful musical that confronts the harsh realities of adolescence. Set in 1895 Germany, the production explores themes of teen suicide, pregnancy, physical and sexual abuse, and the navigation of adolescent sexuality with unflinching honesty. With its exceptional performances, unforgettable musical numbers, and minimalist set design, Spring Awakening is a masterpiece that resonates with audiences of all ages. However, it contains mature themes, partial nudity, sexual situations, and explicit language, and is not suitable for persons under 13.
