The 2007 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, Spring Awakening, has recouped its initial $6 million capitalization.
Variety reports that the Duncan Sheik-Steven Sater musical's recoupment was helped by a strong summer that followed its win of eight Tony Awards this past June. Producer Ira Pittelman told the industry paper that the musical currently has an advance between $3.5 and $4 million.
As previously reported, a national tour of the rock musical is scheduled to begin in September 2008 in San Francisco. A London production, Variety reports, may open in late fall of 2008. International productions in Japan, Korea, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands are also in development.
