SPRING AWAKENING came to Broadway after an initial sold out run at Atlantic Theater Company. It moved to Broadway’s Eugene O’Neill Theatre for 888 performances total. It was nominated for 11 Tony Awards winning 8 including Best Musical. Following it’s Broadway run, 2 National touring companies of the original production came along afterwards. The most recent revival (which originally was a 2 year stint from Deaf West Theatre) played Broadway’s Brooks Atkinson Theatre for a limited engagement of 152 performances. The revival was well known for having the deaf actors sign the show for the hearing actors while the hearing actors sang the score live. It was nominated for 3 Tonys this year including Best Revival of a Musical but lost all it’s categories. A film version is still in the works.
