Spring Awakening is the Tony Award-winning rock musical that redefined the genre. Presented by The Sandbox Collective, this 2026 Manila production marks the inaugural show of The Black Box at The Proscenium Theater in Rockwell.

Based on Frank Wedekind’s controversial 1891 play, the musical features an electrifying alternative rock score by Duncan Sheik and book/lyrics by Steven Sater. Set in late 19th-century Germany, it follows a group of teenagers as they navigate the confusion, passion, and rebellion of adolescence in a repressive society.
