Ashlyn Maddox, Tyler Jordan Wesley, Ryo Kamibayashi and Amalia Yoo are about to learn about the “bitch of living.” The young actors will star in this fall’s off-Broadway revival of “Spring Awakening,” the angsty coming-of-age musical by Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik.
Maddox (“Parade”) has been cast as Wendla alongside Wesley as Melchior, Kamibayashi (“Oh, Mary!) as Moritz and Yoo (“John Proctor Is the Villain”) as Ilse. They’ll be joined by Jack Bateman as Georg, Jada Simone Clark as Thea, Leif Coomer as Ernst, Nando Morland as Otto, Antonio Porciello as Hanschen, Khadija Sankoh as Martha and Grace Slear as Anna. Bateman and Porciello were among the budding performers selected from the production’s open casting call in July, through which 2,532 actors were seen.
