About the event
CTC opens our Season 31 with the alt-rock musical ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด โ the landmark musical with a pop-rock score by singer-songwriter Duncan Sheik and book and lyrics by playwright Steven Sater โ delivering all the angst, romance, tragedy, and poetry of adolescence.ย The musical is based on a play by German playwright Frank Wedekind, written in 1891 and suppressed from being performed until 1906 for its frank condemnation of sexual and social taboos disguised as righteous correctness. The plot: A group of teenagers in a Victorian-era German town wrestle with their โawakeningโ on all things love and sex under, or perhaps in spite of, the eyes of their watchful and neglectful parents and teachers.ย ๐๐๐๐: ๐๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ถ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ๐ด. ๐๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ฆ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐๐ฑ๐ณ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ธ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ค๐ญ๐ถ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ง๐ข๐ฏ๐ช๐ต๐บ, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ด ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ด๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ด, ๐ช๐ฏ๐ค๐ญ๐ถ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ, ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ต ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ญ๐ช๐ฎ๐ช๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฐ, ๐ด๐ฆ๐น, ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฏ๐ค๐บ, ๐ค๐ฉ๐ช๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ข๐ฃ๐ถ๐ด๐ฆ, ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ฉ, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ด๐ถ๐ช๐ค๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ.
