Transforming a self-published 1891 play by an obscure German playwright into a contemporary hit takes just the right combination of sass, depth and provocation—a formula that Spring Awakening gets just right. This rock opera sensation delivers the usual charms of a musical with Tony Award-winning song and dance, but it also probes darker, taboo subject matter among sexually repressed, 19th-century teenagers. This is not just whimsical entertainment, but a look at morality through the lens of rebellious youth as they teeter on the edge of adulthood. [SR]
