Reading kingfuraday's post about Spring Awakening got me googling to see when it was going to finally open in London. It had been long mooted but nothing had ever been confirmed. Well hurrah! It is scheduled to run between 23 January - 28 February 2009 at the Lyric Hammersmith. http://www.lyric.co.uk/pl356.html So who wants to go? The website says: "In a world where grown-ups hold all the cards, three school friends experience the exhilarating, turbulent journey into adulthood… Spring Awakening is a vibrant and poignant story about a brilliant young student Melchior, his troubled friend Moritz, and Wendla, a beautiful teenage girl - all on a voyage of personal discovery and sexual awakening. Inspired by Frank Wedekind’s 1891 masterpiece of repressed emotion and adolescent passion, Spring Awakening explodes onto the Lyric stage driven by a thrilling contemporary score. The Lyric has invited the entire original creative team behind the highly acclaimed New York production to stage the London premiere with a new British cast."
