About this product

Product Information

In February 1999 Steven Sater conceived the radical notion of creating a rock musical from Frank Wedekind's notorious Symbolist drama EFrdhlings ErwachenE and he enlisted his friend and writing partner Duncan Sheik in the enterprise. That night Sater came home and began writing the first lyric of ESpring AwakeningE: Mama Who Bore Me a a lyric which still stands verbatim just as he first wrote it.THTen years later in the wake of the enormous international success of this groundbreaking multiaward-winning show its original director Michael Mayer urged Sater to write notes explicating its famously evocative poetic lyrics.THIn rich detail Sater's notes address the literary sources and allusions of each lyric. He also writes feelingly of what prompted the songs over the course of the show's eight years of development. In so doing Sater expands on his partnership with Sheik and his experiences with original cast members Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff now also known from EGleeE.THThese notes will prove invaluable for fans of the show for all those interested in theater and most especially for all the young performers who will play the roles and sing these songs.
