Review

"{Spring Awakenings}
is a fervent and vibrant production with a cast clearly filled with passion for what might be seen as something of a theatrical novelty."

"Though not a musical, it is laced with song, and actor performers on cello.. guitar...flute ... and piano... Music for the show is composed by Michael Van Bodegom-Smith, with musical direction by Dominic Rinker.

Remarkable in their performances and the core of the drama are the trio of Isabelle Grima as Wendla, Jake Griffith as Melchior, and Bryce Lederer as Moritz...

One begins to realize that Lederer has the most demanding role, and he really delivers. His Moritz is central to the storyline, heavily laced with tragic turns.

Characters are fully fleshed out in the charming production, even lesser roles like Ryan Vu’s Ernst, Quinn Skelly’s Rupert, both so good in their performances. A real standout is Hannah Loessberg as Thea."
