"Seaview is incredibly proud to bring this extraordinary work back to the stage at Studio Seaview and to have the opportunity to introduce New York audiences to a remarkable new generation of talent,” said producer Greg Nobile. “This is an exceptional group of actors who are fearless, deeply talented, and represent the future of our industry. We feel incredibly honored to give them the opportunity to bring their unique voices to this seminal work. They are the kind of artists who make you excited about where theater is headed next."
A limited number of in-person, front row rush tickets will be available through Saturday, December 12 on the day of each preview for $40 per ticket when the Studio Seaview box office opens. Maximum of two tickets per person, subject to availability.
Joining previously announced creative team members Taymor, Rowlson-Hall, and Matias are Christine Jones & Brett Banakis (Scenic Design), Kaye Voyce (Costume Designer), Brian MacDevitt (Lighting Design), Cody Spencer (Sound Design), Jeremy Chernick (Special Effects Designer), Cynthia Meng (Music Director/Conductor), David Lai (Music Coordinator), Ann James (Intimacy Coordinator), Drew Leary (Fight Coordinator), C.A. Johnson (Creative Consultant), Miranda Cornell (Associate Director), Gigi Buffington (Voice & Text Coach), and The TRC Company / Xavier Rubiano, CSA and Peter Van Dam, CSA (Casting). Elizabeth Allen serves as the Production Stage Manager. Sean Gorski / Hudson Theatrical Associates serves as Production Manager with Jonathan Whitton / Seaview as General Manager.
This new production will bring Spring Awakening into an intimate Off-Broadway setting, returning the musical to the raw force and urgency of Frank Wedekind’s once-banned 1891 play. Feral, honest, compassionate, and unflinching, the production will explore the experience of young people caught between desire, repression, fear, and discovery — then and now.
