Have you ever masturbated to Duncan Sheik? Let’s hope not. But when “Spring Awakening” comes to The Auricle, April 21-29, you can catch an angsty 19th-century German boy doing just that … or at least implying it. Written in 1892 by Franke Wedekind, this controversial show was given the rock-musical treatment in 2006 by Sheik, responsible for music and orchestration, and Steven Sater, who wrote the lyrics. The play has raised eyebrows since its first publication 120 years ago, as it unflinchingly addresses teenage issues such as abortion, rape and abuse, homosexuality and suicide. “...

This is STOMP, the dance troupe that originated in Brighton, U.K. before its infectious beat and exuberant visuals made it a mainstream hit. It’s been on Broadway, become an IMAX movie and even inspired an anti-litter campaign in New York. Entertainment Weekly included it on its list of th...
