Spring Awakening to Close

Spring Awakening, which transferred to the Novello Theatre on 21st March after a record-breaking run at the Lyric Hammersmith where it earned multiple five-star reviews and an overwhelming response from audiences, has announced that its final West End performance will take place on Saturday 30 May 2009.

A spokesperson for the producers said, "It is with overwhelming regret that we have had to announce the closure of Spring Awakening. We remain incredibly proud of the production and the remarkable cast members who have put their hearts and souls into every performance. Despite the most positive critical response to a theatrical production in recent years, the enthusiasm of the media, accessible ticket pricing and the incredible response audiences give the show each night, simply not enough tickets are being sold. We are grateful to all of the people who have supported the show and to those who have worked so tirelessly and passionately throughout the run. We also salute all of those involved who have made efforts in the last few days in an attempt to avoid this unfortunate outcome. We simply urge everyone to see this wonderful musical, and its extraordinary cast, before it finishes".

Productions of Spring Awakening continue to open around the world and the film is currently in development.
