Deaf West's rumored revival of Spring Awakening is officially headed to the Brooks Atkinson Theatre for it's Broadway run this fall. Tickets went on sale today.
The show's website lists the production as an 18 week limited run, with previews starting on September 8th and an opening night on September 27th. The site also says it "must close" on January 9th.
The revival is a co-production between Deaf West and Forest of Arden, who's founder Michael Arden will serve as director. Spencer Liff serves as choreographer. Arden previously starred in Deaf West's Broadway transfer of Big River. That production got a special award from the Tonys, as well as nominations for Best Revival of a Musical and Best Featured Actor in a Musical.
This interpretation of Duncan Sheik's Tony winning musical will utilize both hearing and deaf actors, with several characters being sung and signed by two performers. Casting will be announced at a later date, though it is rumored at least some of the LA cast will transfer to Broadway with the production.
