Spring Awakening
Performing June 12-18 & 18-21 | Het Amsterdams Theaterhuis
Spring Awakening is a bold, raw, and deeply moving musical that explores the journey from adolescence to adulthood. Set in a repressive society where young people are denied honest conversations about sex, identity, and self-expression, the story follows a group of teenagers as they navigate first love, friendship, confusion, and rebellion. With a powerful contemporary rock score and emotionally charged storytelling, Spring Awakening gives voice to youth discovering who they are—and what it costs to grow up in silence.
HEA’s production will take place June 12-14 and 18-21, 2025 at Het Amsterdams Theaterhuis. The show is performed in English.
We have two casts for Spring Awakening. Please find all performance details below and scroll down to see who is in the “Purple Summer” and “Blue Night” casts.
There is a special matinee on Friday 19 June which will be followed by a Q&A session with some of the cast and production team. Secondary schools are encouraged to bring their older students to this contemporary musical based on the late 19th century play by Frank Wedekind, as its still very relevant subjects stongly resonate with them and and can encourage much thoughtful discussion.
Please note: Spring Awakening contains strong language, mature and challenging subjects. While we endeavor to handle these with the utmost care, there are scenes that may be uncomfortable or overwhelming for some.
This production is recommended for audiences aged 14 and older. Parents and guardians are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the show’s themes to determine its suitability for younger viewers.
