Spring Awakening: The Musical – October 1-11, Centaur Theatre LiveEvents September 29, 2014 5083 SPRING AWAKENING: The Musical The Tony Award winning musical adaptation of a 19th Century play about oppressed adolescents trying to find their voices and sense of truth. Based on Wedekind’s most famous play written in 1891, the musical version won many awards in New York when it was first produced in 2006. The anguish and searching that teenagers go through as they journey towards their own sense of truth is as relevant today as when the play was first written. Set to contemporary music, the adaptation brings the piece into the 21st century. Highly recommended for school audiences who would gain inspiration and understanding from “the must-see musical of a new generation”.

As Melchior, Creatchman gives a soulful performance, hitting complicated emotional and musical notes. Together with Lubin, who has a touching voice and demeanour, they draw us in to their predicament.” – The Gazette “The sheer passion on stage is a delight” – “a truly committed ensemble cast doing a fabulously interesting piece of theatre” – “a unique and wonderful experience, not to be missed.” – RoverArts For tickets and information: www.centaurtheatre.com or 514-288-3161
