Commentaires : Frank Wedekind’s once-banned 1891 play “Frühlings Erwachen” was given a rock-ballad-musical treatment, and opened off-Broadway in May 2006, and on Broadway itself in December 2006 following much critical acclaim. For a musical dealing with adolescent ignorance and confusion, homosexuality, peer pressure, teen suicide, abortion, masturbation and adult hypocrisy, it received an astonishing eleven Tony Award nominations, winning eight, including Tonys for best musical, direction, book, score and featured actor. It ended its Broadway run on January 18, 2009 following 888 performances and 29 previews
