Spring Awakening Musical at Exeter Phoenix

Shotgun Theatre presents the three time Tony award-winning Musical 'Spring Awakening' at The Exeter Phoenix.

Originally a controversial German play by Frank Wedekind which was banned for a short time due to it's intimate topics, has since been altered for Broadway performances with music by Duncan Sheik and book and lyrics by Steven Sater.
