'Spring Awakening' bowing in S.F.

Rock tuner kicks off N. American tour at Curran

The North American touring production of “Spring Awakening” has set its sked, kicking off in September at San Francisco’s Curran Theater.

Stops on the first year of the tour include Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Toronto, Seattle, Houston and Louisville.

Producers of the rock tuner initially worried how receptive road markets would be to the musical’s edgy subject matter, centered on a group of teens grappling with sex and death. But resistance on the part of presenters has so far not hindered the upcoming tour.

The “Spring Awakening” tour begins perfs at the Curran Sept. 4. A pre-tour incarnation plays San Diego in August.
