The Off-Broadway revival of Spring Awakening has officially extended its run by nearly two months. Performances are now scheduled to continue at Studio Seaview through April 4, 2027.

Why it matters

The extension provides additional time for audiences to see the production after it was originally slated to conclude on February 14, 2027. The musical remains a highly anticipated addition to the local theater scene this coming season.

The open casting call held in July 2026 attracted 2,532 auditioning performers. From that group, two cast members were successfully selected for the production.
