Madison Lyric Stage will present the rock musical Spring Awakening, Friday, July 21 through Sunday, July 30. Based on Frank Wedekind's controversial play from 1891, Spring Awakening is a groundbreaking musical that explores the tumultuous journey of self-discovery, teenage angst, and burgeoning adulthood. With a book by Steven Sater and a score composed by Duncan Sheik, Spring Awakening delves deeply into the timeless themes of love, rebellion, and the yearning for freedom. The Tony Award-winning musical depicts a dozen young people making their way through the thrilling, complicated, and mysterious time of adolescence, alongside the repressive society that threatens them.

Performances will be held inside an enclosed tent on the grounds of the historic Deacon John Grave House, 581 Boston Post Road, Madison. Madison Lyric Stage’s 2023 mainstage season concludes in September with Climb Every Mountain: An Evening of Rodgers & Hammerstein in September, along with two Studio Series productions, Elegy for a Fallen Angel, a new play by Marc Deaton with music by Nathaniel Baker in August; and Maidens, Witches and Femme Fatales … The Women of Opera in October.
