It's been 14 years since acclaimed local director Victoria Bussert took her talented students from the Baldwin Wallace musical theater program to the Beck Center for the Arts for the great 2006 Broadway musical about teen angst and sexual repression in early late 19th-century Germany. She's back at Beck with her transplanted musical theater program talents -- now based in Oberlin College -- and the result is even better.

The Beck Center’s latest musical, Spring Awakening, is not as cheery as its title.
Directed by Victoria Bussert, with music by Duncan Sheik and book and lyrics by Steven Sater, the 2006 multiple Tony Award winner is based on a late-19th-century German play by Frank Wedekind. Last seen at the Beck in 2012 (also directed by Bussert), it’s back with a new cast, set, and costumes, but it’s still an unhappy view of adolescent passions and social rules.
The musical elements are beautifully done. The excellent cast races about the stage breaking hearts and singing, channeling adolescent vibes into dynamic theatrical force. The story’s dozen plus students are played by Oberlin College students so there’s a note of reality there.
