Reviews
NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:
“A straight shot of eroticism steamed open last night at the Eugene O’Neill Theater under the innocuous name of Spring Awakening, and Broadway, with its often puerile sophistication and its sterile romanticism, may never be the same.”

NEWSDAY REVIEW:
"Did not merely open at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre last night. The action was more like ripping open, more like breaking out, more like tearing into the pretend pop and reused plots that pass for new musicals on Broadway today."

USA TODAY REVIEW:
"Beautiful, messy, exhilarating, awkward, vital: They're all adjectives you might use to describe first love. So it's fitting that you could also readily apply them to Spring Awakening, the imperfect but transcendent new musical." & "Offers a trip unlike any other you're likely to experience this season."

VARIETY REVIEW:
"For anyone weary of pedestrian screen-to-stage adaptations or cut-and-paste jukebox assemblies, the arrival on Broadway of a truly original new musical like Spring Awakening is exhilarating" & "This strange, beguiling show is by no means flawless, but with subtle, nurturing changes, the creative team and cast have fashioned an already seductive work into something even more lovely and lyrical."

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS REVIEW:
"Great news for theatergoers who have craved a new musical with attitude, youthful exuberance and a fresh, gutsy sound. A serious show that raises provocative issues. And if Broadway audiences are lucky, it will run for many seasons to come."

THE NEW YORK POST REVIEW:
"The gritty, groundbreaking Spring Awakening gave an unexpected jolt of sudden genius to wake up the hidebound Broadway musical. This is a must-see musical, and not the least for the way it's performed."

AMNY REVIEW:
"Anyone who enters the Eugene O'Neill Theatre will be privileged to behold the wonder of theater that is Spring Awakening, arguably the most breathtaking American musical since Rent or even Sweeney Todd."

THEATERMANIA REVIEW:
"Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater's innovative, frequently brilliant musical version of Frank Wedekind's shocking 19th-century play shines brightly on Broadway."

WASHINGTON POST REVIEW:
"The sweet sound of the future is what you hear these days on West 49th Street. It swells eight times a week in the Eugene O'Neill Theatre, where a spellbinding new musical, Spring Awakening, is up and running for, one hopes, a long time to come." & "Represents the sort of imaginative boost that the American musical desperately needs....Feels like an invigorating step in a more richly creative direction."
