Studio Seaview to Stage Off‑Broadway Revival of Spring Awakening This Fall

Producers say the new staging will strip the show back to Wedekind’s urgent story while holding open-call auditions on July 10–11.

Overview

  • Seaview announced on June 10, 2026 that Danya Taymor will direct an Off‑Broadway revival of Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik’s Spring Awakening at Studio Seaview this fall.
  • The creative team names Celia Rowlson‑Hall as choreographer in her theatrical debut and Or Matias as music supervisor, signaling a fresh artistic approach for the score and movement.
  • Seaview has scheduled open‑call auditions for July 10 and July 11, with full casting and performance dates to be released later on the production’s official channels.
  • The company says the revival aims for a smaller, more intimate staging to restore the musical’s raw force and the urgency of Frank Wedekind’s 1891 play.
  • The production builds on Spring Awakening’s history since its 2006 Off‑Broadway/Broadway breakthrough and its 2015 Deaf West revival, and the open call could provide a new wave of young performers the show has long launched.
