A new Off-Broadway revival of Spring Awakening, the acclaimed musical by Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik, has been announced for fall production at Studio Seaview in New York. The production will be directed by Danya Taymor, a Tony Award winner for her direction of The Outsiders, with choreography by Celia Rowlson-Hall and music supervision by Or Matias. Open call auditions are planned for July, though the production has not yet announced any cast members. The musical, based on Frank Wedekind's 1891 play about teenagers in 19th-century Germany discovering sexuality and rebelling against parental authority, originally premiered on Broadway in 2006 where it won eight Tony Awards including best musical. The original production launched the careers of Jonathan Groff, Lea Michele, and John Gallagher Jr., and was followed by a West End run and a 2015 Deaf West Broadway revival featuring both deaf and hearing actors.
