A concert to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the original West End production of Spring Awakening has been announced to play at London’s Victoria Palace Theatre on 2 June.

Casting is to be revealed.

Speaking on the anniversary concert, composer Duncan Sheik said: “Spring Awakening is the first musical I worked on that managed to get to Broadway and then the West End. Being in London in 2009 for opening night at the Novello with that young and amazing cast was one of the highlights of my life. It is more than exciting that 15 years on, London gets to experience this anniversary concert and I’m honoured that I can be some small part of that.”

This anniversary concert will also be raising funds on behalf of Imogen Kinchin.

Imogen Kinchin was one of the original producers of Spring Awakening in 2009, guiding the show and its young cast on their journey. Imogen was the Senior Producer at the Lyric Hammersmith for 10 years before joining Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures as Executive Director in 2018. In 2022, Imogen was diagnosed with Stage IV Bowel Cancer. Aside from being one of the most outstanding, creative, inspirational and respected producers in show business, she is a cherished wife, family member and friend. Her cancer is aggressive, yet her resilience is extraordinary, and she remains a positive and hopeful warrior in the face of adversity. A fund, established to support bespoke treatment and her family’s needs as they journey through this cruel disease, has raised over £80,000 to date.

The company of Spring Awakening have kindly chosen to donate the proceeds from the concert to Imogen’s Fund and the link to donate here.

The concert will be directed by Jamie Armitage, with musical direction by Nigel Lilley.

Tickets are on sale from 10am tomorrow (2 February) here.
