And the Tony Goes to…
Not a lot of theater shows are put on in Evansville as compared to larger cities around the country, but that doesn’t mean we can’t produce some successful shows does it? Spring Awakening, the Duncan Sheik-Steven Sater rock musical about the sexual longing of 19th century German teenagers, received 11 Tony nominations on Tuesday. If you don’t know what a Tony Award is, think of the Oscars for on-stage performances.
How does Spring Awakening’s success relate back to Evansville? Steven Sater, a Harrison High School native, wrote the play as well as the musical lyrics.
I have never been to New York, so I haven’t seen Spring Awakening, but if you have, why not leave a comment and tell us how the show was?

I see the play was produced by the Atlantic Theatre Company. Laura Savia works there. She of course is an Evansville Day School graduate and daughter of the maestro Alfred Savia.
